The Second Annual Lanigan's Ball is under development! Last night, I talked to David Armstrong of Widening Gyre. We are tenatively planning to put together another fest sometime around mid-July. I'm thinking we're gonna turn this into a Nagian Appreciation Party with giveaways too, but I have to convince the people I'm working with to go along with all that. But keep you July fairly free.

Last night, I was pleased to meet Brian McNeill. Brian is a singer, songwriter, and fiddle player from Scotland. In 1969, he formed the Battlefield band and has gained significant attention for his many well-crafted songs.

He was in town helping to produce local Scottish favorite, Ed Miller's latest CD which should be done this week. Ed Miller is a master singer, storyteller, and folklorist, and if you ever get a chance to see him perform live, GO! You won't be sorry. But hey, you can find out for yourself. Go listen to some of his music on mp3.com. Any case, I had a great time meeting this legend and catching up with our local legend. They will both be joining us at the Texas Scottish Festival, so if you're not busy during the first week of June, Sinclair Day, come on out and cheer us on.
