The Homespun Ceilidh Band will be performing at the 40th Annual Virginia Scottish Games this Sunday, 1 September (at Great Meadow, in The Plains, VA, as usual, but in a new part of the site -- see their web site). Look for us in the Fiddle Tent (which looks like it's much closer to the entrance in the new layout). We're scheduled for 3:30 in the afternoon, though that might shift a little earlier or later depending on how long the fiddle competition takes earlier in the day.

Peat and Barley has a set at 1:30, Celtic Cross at 2:30, and if you want to make a whole weekend of it, The Devil's Tailors will be playing the day before. The festival opens at 9:00 AM an closes at 6:00 PM. Admission:

Two day adult $30
Single day adult $20
Children 5 - 12 $5
Under 5 Free
Children 12 and under free on Sunday

This'll be a little louder and livelier than our performance last weekend at the Battle of Bladensburg -- more of us will be there and we'll have more room, to start with. So to everyone who complains that we don't play on that side of the Potomac often enough (which, true, we don't), come on out for a fun day of festival and catch us in the Fiddle Tent in the afternoon!
