Day 1 - Aquilon Ensemble & Park Quartet arrive!

Today saw a damp start as the first 2 of our 4 groups arrive.

Also our Bosendorfer Grand has arrived and been installed at An Cridhe. We hope our pianists enjoy....

After a leisurely morning the first rehearsal sounds are emerging with Aquilon rehearsing in the Hall and some string practise going on here and there.

And the sun is out!

Advance Party Arrives!

After a very early start Coll was reached at 10.15. Warm and muggy after a foggy start in Oban. Sun beginning to appear however. The ferry was near deserted today.

All bunk house provisions unloaded by many kind hands at An Cridhe.

Further food orders placed with Neil at the Island Stores.

School visited with an invitation to a workshop for the 30 or so children on Thursday afternoon at 2pm. Should be a fun session with Aquilon.

The Island is definitely excited at the prospect of the musical invasion.

Music tomorrow :)

Sun shining and warm by 4pm but looks a bit wet for the weekend and better from Monday.

The cuckoos are singing away. There seem to be dozens. The orchids are in full bloom - stunning!

This is Coll!

Advance Party

The Music Coll 2013 advance party is in Oban, crossing to Coll tomorrow on the 05.45 ferry :)

Weekend weather looks a bit dodgy but is set to improve at the beginning of the week :)

Looking forward to welcoming everyone on Saturday and Sunday when the full 20 strong group will be fully assembled!

Safe travels to one and all - let the adventure begin!
