Lochside House Hotel, New Cumnock was the venue for the latest wedding ceilidh for Jiggered Ceilidh Band. This time it was Pete (my cousin) and Summer (a close friend of ours) who were getting married and becoming Mr and Mrs Smith- a nobler change of surname I can’t think of, Summer. It was nice to be at Lochside, where I got married 8 years ago…

It was great to play at the wedding in front of a crowd featuring loads of friends and family and we wish Summer and Pete all the best for the future….Pete will need it. Summer’s the most accident prone person I’ve ever met. Just one small example from yesterday, although there were no doubt many more: Summer’s dessert arrived on a plate which had her name and the date drawn on in chocolate. Summer was so pleased she lifted it up to show some guests, allowing the meringue nest, fruit and cream to slide off the plate.

As an aside, wedding photographer for the day was our “fill-in” (pardon the pun) drummer Andi Watson whose wife was being induced last night so big news expected on the safe arrival of Watson Jr.
