Well, I am off to the Highland Games festival this weekend. The Marquise and I are headed over that way on Friday and we'll be back on Sunday. This will be the first festival for both of us and I am ready to get going. One of the main attractions this year (a repeat from what I can tell of last year) is the band Albannach. They are a group of 5 drummers and 1 bagpipe player. The first time I heard them was at Tir Na Nog last October. When we arrived, there was no table left except directly in front of the band. There was a reason it was still open. I was to naive to realize why: they are very (VERY) loud. Check out their website and you will see why. They play great, big, huge drums. I would say "manly" drums, but one of the band members is a woman, so "manly" is out. It took a couple of days for my hearing to get back to normal. I bet my hearing is gonna go about a year earlier than scheduled because of those folks!
One of the reasons I bring them up now is that they are currently in the middle of their US tour. I listen to a lot of Celtic music and I am a big fan of Highlander Radio. I have noticed in the past week or two that they are playing Albanach's music much more. I didn't really think about it until just a little while ago. About a nonth or so ago, I was wondering why I never heard them on Highlander radio and now I hear them at least once every time I tune in. They must be having a really good tour!
Well, I gotta go. I'll let ya'll know how things go at the Highland Games.
