Just to prove how flexible a bunch we are, we've left behind the beaches of the Hebrides and the hills of the Highlands, and are on our way to London to play at the Proms.

Perhaps it’s time I stopped talking about the beaches and the whisky on this Outer Hebridean String tour. (I notice ice cream seems to be featuring quite heavily on the Wind Tour.)

Yesterday's weather in Oban was all you could hope for in a seaside town - glorious blue sky, constant sunshine and a warm breeze. So you can imagine the 45 minutes we spent getting lost in a one-way system thanks to an incorrect map wasn't particularly enjoyable - looking at the glorious blue sky, constant hot sunshine pouring through the windows and a stuffy car rather than a warm breeze! Luckily, the people of Oban turned out to be a very kind bunch and led us (literally) to our destination - the beautiful St John's Cathedral.

So here we are, the Winds and Brass team, on the road to Oban after a hearty breakfast in Dunkeld, a quick coo over three cute black kittens playing in the hotel car park and a ridiculously hairy junction within the first five minutes of setting off this morning!
Last night's concert at Birnam Institute was a huge success. Set off the main road, the wooden-fronted Institute boasts a modern performance space, a cake friendly cafe and Beatrix Potter exhibition and shop.
