In August 1999, the band
participated in the Folk Music Festival in the Brittany town of Saint
Malo. For six days at a variety of public events, the band made up part
of the Scottish contingent along with acts from Ireland and France
itself.
Every day, the band marched through the picturesque cobbled streets of the town, and provided music for outdoor events in St. Malo and nearby towns, including an exchange ceremony with Glasgow Lord Provost Alex Mosson. After daily duties, the band took part in the artists' events in the evening, featuring a wide range of music styles and dancing, not to mention an abundance of hospitality. The band also took a quantity of
their newly recorded CDs, and enjoyed a flurry of sales. The tour was a
great success and the band were invited back to Saint Malo for a two
week tour in July 2000 for the Folklore du Monde Festival and an
International Folk Festival in the town of Vitre. |
