I was on the 'One and Other' 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square on Sunday 13th September. We had an absolutely ball - I didn't sleep a wink the night after it all happened! You can watch a recording of the hour, mark your favourite moments, and leave messages here: http://www.oneandother.co.uk/participants/Ros_G We launched a charity auction from the plinth top, with a lovely new, as yet un=-named tune from Sarah Northcott. Bid in the charity auction and win the right to name the new plinth tune! The money bid by the winner will go to a charity of their choice.

Whisky Galore Festival
The first ever Whisky Galore Festival takes place on the beautiful island of Barra in September, 2009. This Hebridean jewel is the very same island where Whisky Galore – the hilarious 1949 Ealing comedy, based on the book of the same name by Compton MacKenzie – was filmed.
In typical island fashion, Barra and Vatersay embrace the opportunity of yet another party. The Whisky Galore Festival is a unique chance to savour that renowned island hospitality and be part of history in the making.
Music by Skippinnish,Face the West and Vatersay Boys.
