Started off at the Kelso Music Makers’ Group, where the varied programme included everything from Grieg to O’Carolan, clarsach to tin whistle, English pastoral songs to a German nursery rhyme. Mark played lead guitar with le Trio du Hot Club de Berwick (with Fred on fiddle and Graham on rhythm guitar) and the Django swing went down a storm!

Then on to the Cobbles in Kelso where a lively ‘session’ was in progress – lots of instruments but not much music…

It’s the second time le Trio du Hot Club has played out in a week – last Friday saw its debut in Ayton at a fund-raiser for the village hall. Ideal opportunity for a test run for this little beauty!
