We spent quite a while fiddling with the lights in the Kirk at Kirkcaldy...there were over 20 different lighting presets and the best ones meant we couldn't see our music...however, I found some stand lights and little lamps, so we could maintain the carefully selected atmospheric glow!
The acoustic was great and the piano sounded quite shiny, which suited the flute well. I think Scottish audiences are way more appreciative than audiences further south. Again, we did two encores and they didn't stop clapping and stamping at the end of the concert.
We stayed with the chairperson Mairi and her husband Larry at Blinkbonny Cottage (!!) which is so wonderful, and has such comfortable carpet - I could literally sleep on it!They made us a fantastic dinner after the concert and we sat around the fire talking and drinking whisky until the early hours.
