The Wedding Party
There was gale-force winds, horizontal rain and fallen trees, but Mrs Z. and I were determined to get to the at Strathpeffer tonight to join the wedding celebration. Joanne Morrison (known to diary readers as my long-suffering P.A.) had chosen this extra day in the calendar to get hitched to (legendary fiddler and all-round good guy).
The guest-list was awash with Scottish musical talent. Phil Cunnigham kicked off the evening dancing with a waltz he'd composed for the happy couple and confessed he had never before tried to play the accordion while wearing a kilt. He said he felt like one of the Alexander Brothers. We also met up with another fine fiddler in the shape of Bruce McGregor (currently hosting his own show on 成人快手 Radio Scotland!).
A great night - romance, music, whisky and stovies. Life doesn't get much better than this.
