CLANJAMFRY . . .AN EVERGREEN SCOTTISH HIGHLAND FESTIVALDid you hear the bagpipes in Midtown? The Clanjamfry Festival has become one of the best family events in the city of Memphis. Evergreen Presbyterian Church brought back the pipers for their weekend festival celebrating our Scottish heritage with a Friday night CEILIDH: a Scottish Talent Show; a Saturday FAIRE; and a Sunday KIRKIN’ O’ THE TARTANS and dinner on the grounds. Talents did abound at this weekend of singing, participatory dancing, instrumentals, recitations, and booths and booths of jewelry, books, food and family fun. On Saturday night JOCK TAMSON’S BAIRNS, one of Scotland’s most beloved groups, provided a concert of traditional Celtic music in the sanctuary of beautiful Evergreen Church. Sunday morning the grand processional of the choir and the Wolf River Pipes and Drums inspired our faith and blessed our hearts! Put this event on your calendar for next year!
