I'll jump in on this one since everyone else seems to concentrating on the
Ramshorn. 

Lucy played the Bein Inn which is a small country hotel just outside Glenfarg
in Perthshire, Scotland on Saturday 16 December. The room is actually their
restaurant which was converted using two forklift truck palates to make a stage
in the bay window and all the tables had been removed to bring in about 45
tightly packed chairs. "Backstage"  was actually the reception hallway
which is where we were all milling around beforehand. It all sounds a little
ramshackle but it worked very well indeed and was probably one of the few times
when the  row was too close to the stage. The set and chat was probably much
the same as the Ramshorn. 

Lucy told us that she was very much looking forward to seeing Rick the next
night. She had been out running in the afternoon in the countryside
before realising just how hilly it was and if she had a coughing fit in the
middle of a song it would be the cold Scottish air from the afternoon. She was
surprised at how far some people had come - Aberdeen and even some from
England. She had just received the e-mail from her mother that afternoon about
the "Glasgow drinking song" and couldn't remember enough for the audience to
get it but then Glasgow and Perthshire aren't that close together as she was
quickly told. As for Pat's comment about Madonna's wedding, well on one of the
coldest, clearest nights of the winter so far, Lucy reckoned that Madonna was
in for a shock at how cold Scotland could be in December.

She asked for some Guinness before her last song which she ended up drinking in
the easy chairs in front of the log fire in the hallway chatting to some of the
audience. A good night and I ended up with the Inn's copy of the tour poster
which rounded it off nicely.
