Friendship And Music

We had a lovely wee Homesong last night.

And it was wee. The smallest yet. Just seven of us. But it really felt like one of the Ceilidhs of old, in which nearly everybody who came had the stage at some point. Very nice and relaxed. More conversation between songs or stories. More getting to know each other.

There has been a feeling, since Ye Great Lockdown, that people are less inclined to come out for this kind of thing. I’ve experienced a certain amount of disappointment, in that I’ve put a lot of effort into spreading the word.

If I can’t make it happen in my home, then is it really a thing at all?

But it did happen. I’ve always maintained that it’s not about numbers anyway. And, to be honest, last night was exactly how I had imagined the best Homesongs to be.

So I’m really happy about that. And I’m relaxed about the future for Homesong.

Friendship And Music in any form, is a beautiful thing.
