I've added a link to the Friends of SMF Facebook group. I see one of the members of the group - Leslie Burgher - has added another "under construction" photo of the Spiegeltent (above). When the Spiegeltent first visited Orkney for the SMF two years ago, it was hugely popular. It's a great counterpoint to the hushed halls of the other SMF venues.
Weather here is beautiful again today. You may wonder why I'd be worried about weather when all the concerts are indoors. Well, the weather here can be so bad - even in Summer - that you'll get windswept and drenched during the 2 minute walk from the Spiegeltent to the Festival Club! And the weather can change at the drop of a hat. Umbrellas are a total waste of time because of the strong winds. So if you're new to Orkney, take some warm clothes and waterproof coat - hopefully you won't need them!
SweynH has been tweeting up a storm on Twitter. He's posted some interesting info about this year's SMF and how it's organised (more on that subject here later in the week). Click the "SMF on Twitter" link on the right.
Back later with some info about the Conducting Course...
