Runrig - Celebration in the City

I can't believe I forgot to mention that I'd been at the Runrig concert at Edinburgh Castle in July!!  It was part of their 40th anniversary tour - Celebration in the City!!  And what a setting it was!  Absolutely fabulous!!  I still think of Donnie Munro as the 'voice' of Runrig, but it was a great concert and the weather also held out.  It was warm and sunny to start with but after the sun went down, it became quite cold and windy, but that didn't detract from the concert at all.  We had a fantastic night.

As you can imagine, I took loads of photos so I think the best thing to do here is to post the link to my Flickr page where I have posted them to so that you can look at your leisure!!

Trad on the Tyne - Donnie Munro

When I discovered that the Red Hot Chilli Pipers were going to be playing at the Trad on the Tyne event in Haddington, I also discovered that Donnie Munro (ex-Runrig) was to be playing in Haddington on the next again night!!  Fearing that the tickets might have been sold out, I phoned to see if I could reserve tickets for the concert that I would be able to pick up on the night.  Happily, there were some tickets left so I arranged for them to be waiting for me.  I had already seen Runrig at Edinburgh Castle earlier this year, so to see Donnie as well was going to be a bonus as I still regard him to be the 'voice' of Runrig.

Here are a couple of photos from the night.  His concert was great and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
