Tonight was a great and interesting night. I got offered a support slot by a friend a while ago and tonight was the night of the gig. It worked out really well as it was my first BIG church gig.
It was at Carrubers Christian Centre in Edinburgh; a beautiful church on the Royal [...]
This year the AFC was granted the full use of the Fringe stage at the Spratton Folk Festival (SFF). This was mainly due to the hard work of Lewis, Adam, and Brown’s contribution previously in 2008 where a Gathering was held in the local pub, the Kings Head, as and extra day of the SFF. [...]
