Every librarian's favourite open access band are breaking new ground. Not only did a subset of the Bearded Pigs recently play London's famous Ridgmount Street, I now hear they have a date in Scotland planned, at the CILIP in Scotland conference in Peebles on the night of Tuesday 3 June. The moose or elk is to be reintroduced to Scotland: how will it coexist with Sus barbatus?
I cannot be there but should dearly love to hear them interpret my favourite Scottish song, Hamish Henderson's Freedom Come All Ye. I shall also miss their annual appearance at MLA, this year in Picago.
