Our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were really
open to new adventures. Although our basic
itinerary was only moderately modified, each day we were able to accommodate everyone
and find new things even we hadn’t planned!
From changing the location of our daily harp event on Day 1 to catching
a ceilidh and doing some dancing later on and including options for activities
for each person on our last day, we almost had more fun providing the tour than
our guests had being on it!
We also learned some great tunes, sang some, and had enjoyable
conversations and discussions. We met
some interesting people, tried some new foods, and experienced outstanding scenery.
We also welcomed our first non-harp playing musician – a
guitarist. Robin is an accomplished
guitar player and she learned all the tunes along with the harpers. It was a real pleasure to have a broader
instrument base and we really enjoyed the interplay of harp and guitar.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll share some more of our trip
and photos. But for now, start
planning! The 2013 Harp in the Highlands
and Islands Tour will be 2 – 9 September.
We’re already working on it so I hope you’ll plan to join us!
