Tonight Ciaran plays at a colorful venue surrounded by friends. I get to go too. They all have accents!

He is a remarkable entertainer with a voice and songs that have the audience captured like school children. (and by now I know my school children) I’ve lost my list of everyone’s names but trust me, they also were great – we shared Fairy Blood tea (delicious) and our host Jim McAteer, began the evening with his set followed by a young and beautiful talent Jo Anthony with Craig Whitehill. What a wonderful mix – the time flew by, too quickly!

This is my last night in Scotland. The taxi will be at the door at 7 a.m.

Good-bye Scotland!
