Week thus far and Wighton Update

No posts last couple of days as I have been away a fair bit with the day job; however, useful meetings Tuesday about a number of local issues - eg flooding near Magdalen Green and about the Western Cemetery.
Also, here's an update via Sheena Wellington about fine fiddling at the Wighton!
"Well-known Fife fiddle player Karen Hannah is the featured artist in the Friends of Wighton lunchtime recital on Wednesday 1st November.
"Held in the lovely setting of the Wighton Heritage Centre in Dundee's Central Library, the recital is from 1.15 - 1.45pm and admission is free.
"A winner of the prestigious Danny Award at Celtic Connections some years ago, Karen is much in demand as player, tutor and workshop leader. Originally a student of the renowned Bob Edwards, founder of the Tayside Youth Strathspey & Reel Orchestra, she has also studied and performed with Alasdair Fraser and Aly Bain. Her fine blend of lyrical slow airs, fiery jigs and strict tempo reels have been heard at clubs, festivals, concerts and civic events throughout Scotland, across Europe and as far afield as New Zealand.
"Guest artist Sheena Wellington will join Karen for a couple of songs."
