A shout out to everyone who came to Nethy Bridge Village Hall to pay tribute to the spirit, words and works of Bob Marley on his birthday. To see and hear Mighty Oak Sound play such a beautiful selection in the hall, and with so many people coming from near and far, the atmosphere was just perfect.

To the Dundee crew, and Rosie celebrating her birthday, to the Burning Bush crew from Aberdeen, the folks from Skye, the car loads of bothy-bound dancers from Glasgow, Johnny on the bus up from Fife, to all the lovely folks from Forres, Findhorn, Inverness and of course the huge Nethy/Boat contingent, we could feel the love in the hall- everyone was there to make the night what it was.

Thanks also to Kool Runnings for the ital food, to Ross at the Dell of Abernethyfor supporting the night and hosting the artists, and to the amazing team in Nethy Bridge Hall who smashed it on all levels, and were so welcoming and lovely. Of course thanks to Ben, Jofis and Dylan who lugged a HEAVY soundystem up north and shook the very foundations of the building!

Village hall sessions are part of our DNA at Karawane, and we want to keep building these nights in places which rarely, if ever, get to experience things like this. The central belt shouldn't have all the fun, and this was not last soundsystem event in Nethy ;-)

Onwards to the next, and if you have a space and a community in which you think another adventure like this could work, then just reach out to [email protected] and we can explore that.

Much love, everyone, for continuously showing up, giving us feedback, and for letting us know that it's worth all the effort!

First ever soundsystem night in Nethy, and we're going to have a good one! Thanks to everyone who has supported this night to make it happen, and looking forward to a good dance with you all ❤

Quite an open secret really, and we've of heard several peers experiencing abuse in the trad scene. There is absolutely NO place for this in folk music or anywhere. Men- call it out, confront, and be a safe place for women and girls. More allies, fewer excuses.

The survey of 409 women - most of them musicians, teachers or students - found 81% had suffered some form of abuse.

Huge thank you to everyone who reached the dance on the 27th and made it so special. It was great to see so many new faces in there and also some that have been with us for many years. Great to see different generations dancing together too- something we have always loved about our dancefloor. A huge thanks to for travelling north to nice things up on the mic, to for adding a real touch of class with tenor sax and turkish flute! To jimmy djembe Nat , Kenny Bongos and Kirsty Kowbell we couldn't love you guys more for always sharing your time, skill and energy with all of us. Great to see Gillian, tina and Luna leading impromptu dances in the crowd too!!

Coming up on 8 years in the Highlands now and, thanks to you, we've still got the energy for many more.

And finally thanks to for always supporting us and providing a great space for us to come together. There is more to come!
