“The Folky Xmas Tour sold out the Old Brewery, in double quick time. It was a great, lively night, with the usual high quality traditional music, combined with some songs and contemporary tunes, and festive fun and games. It went down really well with everyone, and was a special night at a special time of the year.” Cromarty Old Brewery.
