Ann Barlow and John McMahon in flight for the Hollow Mountain String Band.
A full house at the Victory Hall, Benderloch, was treated to the Hollow Mountain String Band experience on Friday night.
Opening the final weekend at Bookends Book Festival and heralding a week of fringe events, the Oban-based band played two fulsome and energetic sets. A little too energetic and enthusiastic for singer John McMahon, who assaulted his nose in a change of guitars between tunes. John, always the trouper, was not going to let a wee bit of blood and a swollen nose slow him down and his rumbustious vocals seemed unaThected by the guitar assault.
