The Midnight Club [Set]

The tunes are ‘The Midnight Club’, ‘Kirstin, Bruce and Twinkie’ and ‘Long Way for a Shortcut’, played by The Dillies of Plockton.

‘The Midnight Club’ was composed by Neil Ewart, ‘Kirstin, Bruce and Twinkie’ by Robyn Gray, and ‘Long Way for a Shortcut’ by Scot Wilson. All three composers are members of The Dillies, along with Kirsty MacCormick and Shona Masson.

They explain that 'The Midnight Club is for the playing of tunes. No more need be said. Robyn’s reel concerns her friend Kirstin’s incredibly macho father and his embarrassment over the arrival in his house of a Yorkshire terrier called Twinkie. Scot’s tune commemorates a memorable journey which seemed to take in every A and B class road between Plockton and Northumberland.'
