Make Music Day is a global celebration of music which happens annually on the longest day of the year.'This year Rolling Hills Folk Club has signed up and is funding the guest band, Skirlie, in order to be one of the 1600 events expected to take place across the UK on this day, with the aim of widening access for local communities to a live musical event.'Skirlie, will provide a brilliant night and their name may conjure up memories of an interesting Scottish dish for some people- a mixture of oats and onions fried in batter. 'Skirlie say that is how they approach their music - presenting an evening which is fundamentally Scottish with other things thrown in!'The band members are Alison Tunnicliffe on fiddle and vocals, Kev Patrick on guitar, mandolin, dobro, vocals and anything he can make out of wood, string and glue, Rab Ferris on bodhran, percussion, whistle and vocals and Eddie McGlone on bass, Chapman Stick and vocals.'The legendary raffle will run as usual as this helps to pay for the venue.'Make Music
