Valeman Paul Murdoch headlines the Open Mic at Balloch House Hotel next Monday, January 6. Someone commented to me recently, ‘Paul’s singing in the local pub one day, the next he’s in some exotic location’. Maybe that’s what Balloch to Bali is all about. Anyway we’re waiting to hear all the stuff YOU have been writing during the festive season. For those 60 years or over you still have a chance to enter the poetry competition on the ‘Autumn Voices Blog’ Closing date Jan 30th. See you Monday. All the best for 2020, Mary Irvine
