Once more to the Islay Whisky festival....

Our 6th year in a row .....who said they weren't coming back after the first year ????

Another early , 4.10am , but we made good time up to the ferry , nice quiet roads just a shame about the odd showers we kept on hitting . Met up with Martin from the wednesday chat at the ferry terminal and Robin Laing on board . We had something a bit different on the journey over , a band playing in the bar !

The trouble is Calmac have set a precedent now....

Celtic Spirit ( a rock-n-roll bag pipe band....) treat us to a short set including We Will Rock You and Yellow Submarine ! Highly entertaining ! They will be preforming at Laddie Tomorrow ( Sorry about the poor quality photo only had Camera phone at hand .

Got Settled down in the Stable Cottage and went for something to eat at The White Hart where we bumped into some old Festival Friends . A good start to the festival , now onto Laddie Day........
