Normally all summer it\u2019s week after week of music camps and festivals on the weekends. Because they\u2019re all on hold due to the pandemic, this episode is dedicated to all the camps and festivals that didn\u2019t happen this year. This episode is different from our usual format. It\u2019s made up of live recordings made from past years. The recording quality varies, but the energy is palpable and I think it\u2019s a nice reminiscence. Hope you enjoy. Just a heads up, it\u2019s not all designed to be relaxing, instead it\u2019s quite joyful and boisterous at times! Take care, everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Episode Notes<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>1. Pipe March: Caber Feidh &#8211; &nbsp;Mike MacNintch, piper.
