This week saw the launch of Ceilidh Culture 2012. It’s the 10th Anniversary and is once more a feast for the traditional arts in Edinburgh.

Look out for the programme or visit the Ceilidh Culture web site to download one, find out more or book tickets.

Some tickets for Flute Fling will be sold via the Ceilidh Culture web site / Usher Hall Box Office (0131 228 1155).

I also have a number to sell, so be sure to ask me about it when you see me at the session in Sandy Bell’s on a Monday, the Scots Music Group on a Wednesday, Fun Flute on a Thursday or Portobello Music School on a Saturday.

Space is limited, so make sure you don’t miss out on what promises to be a great afternoon.
