Unfortunately not, but I've always fancied this one. Is it much the same crowd that go to Keith, Lossie etc festivals? I'd imagine there'll be a lot of fiddle music.
Me neither - I'm too tied-up with little kids! Oh, and irrelevantly, maybe you could suggest a bowing for the 2nd and 4th parts of the pipe jig 'Donella Beaton' (which appears on Daimh's 'Moidart to Mabou' album) ...?!
Lots of fiddles, right enough, but not really the same crowd as Lossie or Keith. Quite a varied mix of performers and punters - from year in year out regulars to one-offs and tourists.
Shetlanders band Filska were a definite highlight for me this year and are well worth checking out (www.filska.co.uk).

Unfortunately not for me either. I was allowed off the leash at Stonehaven but that's my lot for the year I think.
Speyfest seems to have grown big very quickly.
