Good luck with the festival.

I'm getting partial to Scottish tunes played on UPs. It all started with Drowsey Maggie, which was always a favourite of mine, but which I recently learned is of Scottish origin.

Shameless plug of Boyd's shameless plug:

I went a couple years back and had a fabulous time! The folks that ran the festival were welcoming and inclusive. I'd like to return someday.

The site says its some character named Boyd Peters.

The site, by the way, only works in IE, not in Netscape.

Looks like a good time.

S'funny...it loads in under a second any time I go onto it, Uilliam

Maybe its the Netscape vs IE thing

I'll pass this on to Neil at Dancing Dog who "does" the site for us

Hi,

Re: Netscape or IE, the site is actually designed primarily in Firefox so it should be OK in Netscape as well as recent IE. The site adheres to modern CSS standards, so it does require a recent browser (Netscape 6, IE 5+, Firefox 1, Safari, etc).

As to long download times, I have no idea, its on a reasonable server. I'll investigate what I can.

Apart from that, hope you can come and enjoy!
Cheers, Neil
