The band performs at ceilidhs all over the UK and abroad, from weddings, festivals & functions to their biggest crowd in June 2005 when they played for 5000 dancers on Edinburgh's meadows breaking the world record for the biggest ever eightsome reel!

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
Thanks to the Experience for the experience and add! Is Edinburgh just like Alexander McCall Smith describes? Cheers, Vonnie from 2 Bits (hammered dulcimer and piano)
