Rural Blend Concert - Saturday 15th March

Thanks to Lori and Innes Watson for providing us with the workshop sessions on fiddle and guitar on Saturday afternoon.

In the evening, the Get Reel AllStars made an appearance on stage at the McLintock Hall, Balfron. This was part of the Rural Blend Festival organised by the Tolbooth, Stirling.

Once our slot was over the professionals took over. First twins, Mike and Ali Vass treated us to a stirring set, playing the unusual combination of fiddle and piano.

After a short break, Lori Watson and the Rule of Three stormed the stage and treated us to traditional and experimental music from the borders. The trio of fiddle, accordion and a unique guitar playing style had the Balfron audience wondering how their small rural village had secured such a fine line-up.

Thank you Tolbooth for making it all possible. Here are some pics from the day.
