weddings, concerts and sinks

Yes I know the title of this blog is unusual but it is apt
Katie is playing in Appletree tomorrow and will probably have to set off early because the sun will play havoc with the harp.
meanwhile me and Dad continue to do battle with the bathroom sink which has the most bizarre plumbing we have ever seen.

more pictures from The Wyrd Festival


more pictures from the weekend

Bacup Festival




We have had a very busy week I have not been at all well with my neck problems and Katie has been as busy as ever.




Last Friday she did a wedding at Hebden, then on Saturday she did the Bacup Wyrd festival up by the sacred standing stones.




On Sunday she performed in Saxton at a private function whilst she played I took my Daughters up to Scarborough




We have had a lot of enquiries this week and have tried to answer them all .


My Father whom I have not seen for six years arrives from Ireland tonight and is stopping with us for a while .

Harps and Sheep


We got the contract for Fiona Katie to play at Limetree Festival today. We are looking forward to that and I will publish details of when , where and directions of how to get there when I have a bit more time.

Tomorrow Fiona Katie is playing at a school and then this weekend we have a free weekend .

It is our intention to do something a bit light depending on whether my hip holds out or not we might go for a walk.


My daughters have managed to break yet another toilet and it is leaked through the ceiling so I have had to cut the water off for that one and will have to leave it until I feel a bit more like my old self


I have also moved all the lambs outside today for the first time they were frightened of going out hopefully they will get a bit more confidence over the next few days

Its been a while!

Fiona Katie has had to managed without my input over the last 3 weeks as I have been terribly ill and have not had the strength to do anything.
What started as a sniffle turned into something a bit more and I ended up going to bed and poor Kate (Fiona Katie) had to look after the animals , feed the hens, teach wash cook as well as perform .

Finally I today I have began to feel better and although my hip is hurting from Osteoporosis I think we are making headway today and tonight it is my final night at College and so ends another academic year for me for a few months which will give me more time to concentrate on "fighting for access rights to my son and assisting Katie.

In the meantime Katie has been making significant improvements to her harps, set up a recording studio so I am hoping that she will put things to one side and concentrate on recording a new CD.

I guess that about brings you up to date except to say watch out for details of festivals coming up on Kates date page many of them are free and those that are not free are well worth going to anyway.
