The Orkney Blues festival (Special Thanks and Mentions)

What a great weekend....

Had a great time hanging out and listening to Blue Rooster, the Bad Liars, Bad Taste, BWB, Last Train, Stevie Hay and the Rayvons and Keith Christmas. Even with all the gigging there was plenty of time to hang out, a minimum of gear to move and all hassle-free.

My thanks to Graham, John and the guys from Blue Rooster, the guys from BWB and the Bad Liars, all of whom loaned us gear, and managed to move most of it as well.

And Steve, Walter, Caroline and the other organizers, you all did a superb job, everything ran like clockwork.

So, as always, I love going to Orkney. It's like going home for me, something in the landscape and the relaxed attitude of the Orkadians. The weather was outstanding and the music great too. I'm ready to go back any time.

Thanks again, all! See you soon....
