Saturday Concert Pictures
The Saturday concert, emceed by Betty Matheson and Leanne Aucoin, began a bit past 19h in the Great Hall of the Clans at the Gaelic College. I had a front-row seat for the concert and therefore was positioned to get pretty decent photos. I am not a professional photographer and am still getting used to my camera, so take the photos for what they are: my best attempt to capture what was going on at a live event. Inevitably, microphones get in the road and the angle from which I was shooting, from below the level of the stage, means that those standing in the back may be obscured by those standing in the front. Still, I’m generally pleased with the way many of the photos turned out and I hope you will enjoy them.
The Performance Listing below reflects the names I heard and wrote down at the concert, but given my lack of acute hearing, what I present here may well not be what was said. Thanks to Kimberley of Island View Creations for one spelling correction. I apologize in advance to anyone else whose name I have mis-heard or misspelt. Other corrections are most welcome: use the feedback link in the bottom part of the navigation bar at the left to notify me of any errors.
To begin looking at the pictures, click on the “First” link in the navigation bar at the left and continue through them in sequence by clicking on the “Next” link on each subsequent page. (The “Previous” link, which appears on pages after the first, will take you to the previous page in the sequence. The “First” and “Last” links take you to the first and last pages of the sequence, respectively.) Alternatively, click on any picture in the “Picture(s)” column of the Performance Listing to jump directly to the page holding that picture.
