[Dixielandjazz] NY's celebrations

[Norrie Thomson]

You should come to Scotland to celebrate Hogmany (New Year's Eve).  We know
how to do it.

There are few gigs featuring any sort of bands on Hogmany - not because of
lack of musicians but because bar staff etc don't want to work, no matter
how much they are offered.


A guid new year tae ane and a'
