No, it was a coincidence, but the youth band of Skye happened to be nearby while they all left the church and this happened!
Just wonderful!

My late father worked for BEA/BA at Renfrew Airport-which later moved to Inchinnan- and took the original ferry to work and back from the mid 60s to the early 80s. I wonder if your aunt sold him his ticket!

AI is indeed here to stay- I believe it can bring huge benefits but that said, copyright theft is an issue that needs to be properly addressed.
Nick Clegg stated that the admin involved in seeking permissions from creatives to use their work without payment of consultation is unworkable. I disagree.

Were you ever in the Slam Tent, Mike? 😀

My partner David was FOH engineer in the Slam Tent at every TiTP. He says they were the same volume as everything else 😀

If I had to write ‘How They Broke Britain’ all over again, Nick Clegg would get at least a chapter. An agent of immeasurable harm.

His stance on AI theft is unconscionable. www.theverge.com/news/674366/...

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Hard to credit that our government is *minded* to support Flamingo Land's proposal.

It's not yet a done deal-- it's not too late to make your feelings known.
