Reminder to all that we have a simply wonderful folk duo coming to Cranshaws on FRIDAY 16TH NOVEMBER. Sarah-Jane Summers and Juhani Silvola combine Scottish folk fiddle and guitar with a Norwegian folk sound (Hardanger fiddle), spiced up with a splash of improvisation. Why not cheer up a dark November evening and come along? See the poster for details and email me to reserve seats!
We have the unexpected pleasure of hosting another folk fiddle gig on Friday November 16th! Over here for the Scots Fiddle Festival weekend, Sarah-Jane Summers (formerly of RANT) and her Finnish husband Juhani Silvola are coming back to Cranshaws. This is a duo not to be missed!

An opportunity for those of you who enjoyed Ian Kille's geology Winter Lecture last year in Cranshaws!
Don't forget tomorrow's Winter Lecture at Cranshaws! We are really excited to have Sarah Burthe and Mark Newell from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology coming to talk about seabirds. They will be arriving hotfoot from the East Lothian coast, where they are collecting carcasses of seabirds which have been victims of the 'Beast from the East'. See you at 7.30pm!
A busy few months for Watch Promotions concludes next week with a Winter Lecture about the seabirds on the Isle of May in the Firth of Forth. Sarah Burthe and Mark Newell are researchers with the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and spend every breeding season out on the Isle of May working amongst the puffins, guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes and shags that come in their thousands each year to nest and rear their young. I think we can promise some wonderful photographs and interesting data on trends in seabird populations off the Scottish coast. If you care - be there!
Such a great gig on Friday with Karine Polwart! A record audience of 88 enjoyed every moment.
We have a BIG, BIG event coming up soon - Karine Polwart is coming to Longformacus on Friday 23rd February! A titan of the Scottish folk scene, her recent show 'Wind Resistance' received universal acclaim.
