Coming up at Folk at the Salmon Bothy

  • 30th November – St Andrews night Ceilidh – Bowling Club in collaboration with the Portsoy 75 Club
  • 20th Dec – Christmas Extravaganza with guests Fair Tricket

A near capacity audience were treated to a fantastic evening of Folk Music at our recent club night on the 3rd Friday. Bill Gray was MC for the evening and ensured all 12 floor performers had time for a couple of songs or tunes. We even had a doric story from Queen Victoria’s Doric Diary. Ewan MacColl seemed to be favoured by many performers, including one of our guests, Bob Drummond who sang a couple of McCarthy songs as well as the much loved Ralph McTell classic, The Streets of London. Danny Couper was also on very fine form singing a selection of Aberdeen Street songs as well as classic songs collected from the singing of Jeanie Robertson . He also gave a great rendition of Hamish Henderson’s Freedom Come All Ye. A song that many think should be Scotland’s National Anthem.

A few regulars were missing, some to I’ll health. We wish them well and hope to see them at our Xmas Extravaganza on 20th Dec. The very talented young lasses from Cullen, Chloe and Charlotte (aka Fair Tricket) are our guests. Joan, Paul and Chris are organising the refreshments and a collection of food items will be made for a local charity.

Finally, there are still tickets available for our joint venture with Portsoy 75 Club. A St Andrews night Ceilidh. Dancing, singing, Tunes and Poetry. A great night for sure. Only £15, includes supper, provided by Megs Kitchen and Gaulds Sandend.

Contact Bob for tickets.
