Year 32 No 3 - November 2007
Our first meeting of the new season welcomed the talented trio Iain Cathcart, Graham Berry and Gus Millar.
What a set up – finger-lickin’ reels, jigs to die for and music to dance to – an altogether ‘grand night’.
A plethora of local artistes consisted of Ian Gracie, Jim Fraser, Roy Marshall and Tommy Edgar all on accordion and backed by pianist George McKinnell and drummers Ian Marshall and Ian Riddet.
The violin was expertly played by Gallovidian John Cowan, while vocals from Nat Little, Maisie Dickie and Andy McClymont were appreciated by a large crowd.
The audience included visitors from Portpatrick to Penrith, and at the end of the night some £400 was donated to local charities from sale of quizzes, cakes, dolls etc. Without the efforts of the ladies who make up and sell the quizzes and the generosity of the Coupland family who own the hotel, along with the donations of raffle prizes from our Club goers and the very small Committee, the Britannia Club might not function.
