Getting very excited for On A Wing and A Prayer - Morvern next Saturday 27th July at St Columba's Drimnin Trust
There's a brand new piece for string trio by Lisa Robertson called "ar lùths (our power") as well as a collaborative new piece by Lisa, Ruth Rowlands and I inspired by The Rainforest.
ar lùths will be very special as it's a piece straight from the heart. Here's what Lisa had to say about it:
"While working together in Morvern on this project, two things that really stood out were the power of water and the power of community. Amid threats from the climate crisis, which are very evident in Morvern already, there are so many positive stories of action being taken by our community, reflecting the good stewardship of the land which goes back thousands of years here."
There is also music by local Scottish Wildlife Trust naturalist Steve Hardy and a soundtrack made collaboratively in the Morvern Community Woodlands

Thank you…
… to everyone who has bought raffle tickets so far for our annual August Summer event. We have some great prizes lined up from local businesses and individuals including vouchers, whisky and wine, artworks and other unique ornamental pieces from around the world! A full list of prizes and further event details will be sent out closer to the time. But for now pop this date in your diary! - Saturday 17th August
Another big thank you to everyone who came down for our annual Spring Talk, this year hosted by Heather and Sara. It was well attended and fascinating evening, with funds raised for both the hall and Morvern Community Woodlands. Many thanks for Drimnin Chapel for facilitating the change of venue on such late notice!
MAINTENANCE UPDATE
Regretfully we have had to postpone our annual maintenance day this week, planned for Saturday 20th June. Unfortunately some lath and plaster has begun coming away from the ceiling which will require repair before we can host any large events in the hall. These short term repairs are planned for the end of this month, just in time for the summer calendar, so the show can go on!
More long term action needs to be taken which will require quotes, consultations, grant applications and fundraising initiatives to make this happen. We will be hosting our first meeting to tackle this project in September and welcome anyone who would like to be involved. This could be a great opportunity to learn some new skills and help create a more sustainable space.

Thank you to Sara Sheridan for sharing her love of writing (and reading) with us last night, and to St Columba's Drimnin Trust for allowing us to host the event in Chapel. Not only was it a beautiful setting, it also seemed an apt spot to be discussing the history of Scotland. I am sure the building itself would have a few stories to tell, if only it could.
A wee reminder that the 'Hall Maintenance Day' is scheduled for 22nd June.
'Big Thank You' to the Committee and Joe Moretti (plus a few other unsung contributors) for putting on a fabulous wine tasting in the village hall this evening.
Hope you decided to put on another
