The Poozies


The Community will have the opportunity to see and hear one of Scotland's outstanding bands, 'The Poozies' in concert in Finzean Hall on the 25th May.

The Poozies traditional instrumental music and song is described as ' bursting with energy' - ranging from the contemporary to the ancient Gaelic - this is a refreshingly wonderful sound.

The concert proceeds will go towards this years Harvest Folk Festival (the second hairst), which is already arranged again for the 28th/29th/30th of September. More information on that to follow but the Festival launches on the 28th with a special 'Harvest Supper' in the Finzean Hall with Guest speaker Shirley Spear from the Three Chimneys Restaurant on Skye. Shirley will be enthusing the audience about the importance of Scottish recipes and the links with our local culture. Harvest songs and tunes will add to the evening - Shirley would prefer if someone else did that bit. Supper is provided by Potarch Hotel chef/patron, Che Mueller.

Tickets for the Poozies concert on the 25th May - £10 and are available from
