I had a booking for the Swan in Forest row to accompany a dinner. The manager of the swan had moved over from Wisborough Green and had asked for me back. It did involve a long drive over, but I knew who I was dealing with, so settled on a bit more money.
I drove over and parked down the road (the pub car park was full) and popped in to meet up with Matt who showed me to his pokey office for tuning up. It was under the stairs and only just large enough to get the pipes up but not move around.
When the time came around, I started in the bar area and moved into the dinning room. - the usual start tunes.
Then once most people were seated then I played the presentation tunes whilst one of the servers showed off the haggis.
I came back for some more tunes after their deserts, before retreating to the pub for the "have a go session". A couple of people, then up to the dinning room for a couple more - by now I could play the chanter whilst they blew ,,, got a even better response.
back in the bar for a few mor tunes after the last few "tryers". I was dominated by a drunk bloke who was talking about a party evening but just passed over my details, and an inflated price - we will see if anything comes of it.
