However, as a grand finale, Gaelic Gall will be playing at the Island Bar on Saturday 19 February - possibly with as many as 7 players. The Almighty decided to demonstrate his dislike of jazz, and dumped gallons of water on what would otherwise have been the Swingstock evening. Nevertheless many thanks to Peter Berry and the others involved in trying to organise the event. Hopefully there will be another chance later this year. A 15 piece jazz band will be playing at Dickstock's on Sunday 23 January from 8 pm to 11 pm.
Entrance is free.
However if it's raining or blowing a gale the event will have to be called off. Let's hope it's dry - this should be a great evening. Managed by a particularly pleasant lady called Amy, Dan's Coffee Shop finally opened on January 8. The coffee, from the most advanced coffee machine on Lamma, is really excellent. A broad selection of sticky buns, pies and savouries will shortly be available.
