Late Feb. Update

Just to remind you. Norman Maclean will be giving readings from his new autobiography this Thursday at the GalGael workshop (more info on post below). We hope to have some live music as well as food, so all are welcome to attend.






On the Afternoon of March 6th we will be once again welcoming Luke Concannon from the chart toping band Nizlopi (remember the "JCB song "?) with his friends from "The Manjinga 7" - who will be helping Luke to do a song writing workshop with our trainees and volunteers then giving us a performance later in the afternoon. Food- as always, will be available. Performance will be just after 3pm in the workshop.






Thursday evening taster sessions are gathering momentum. In the workshop we had work being done on a rowing boat and some Medieval weaponry being made in the metalwork area. We hope to build up a small stock of this for re-enactment events etc. The front shop was heaving with activity. Anneruth was tenderly showing a young child (wee Thomas)and his mother (Samantha) the wonders of woolcraft while six feet away the girls were practicing bodhran with young Josh playing AC/DC riffs on the guitar. Three feet in the other direction, Alan was giving boxing lessons. It was a bit mental but it's early days yet. (Anneruth has a viscious left hook by the way)

If you are interested in coming along on a Thursday evening, please contact us.

Condolences to the family and friends of Jim mcCulloch who past away a few days ago. Jim loved sailing and was making great progress in gaining his certificates and qualifications. He also supported GalGael by doing various electrical jobs in the workshop.
