Glasgow, Scotland Barrio Fiesta

[Arthur Little]

By the way,, Guys,, where about in Scotland are you based so we can mention it on the day to welcome you

Glasgow is my birthplace and, consequently, I'm familiar with [the location of] the Kelvin Hall. I shall definitely be coming along on Sunday, together with my Filipina wife, Myrna (whom I married last December 8 in Tagum City) and greatly look forward to Scotland's first Barrio Festival.

BTW, we are now living in the 'Fair City' of Perth ... which has been MY home since 1967.

Why bother promoting the event if they didnt have the good grace to inform people it was cancelled and it must have been cancelled in advance to allow the antique fair to book Its a rum do Imagine the folks who travelled for hours turning up to look at a victorian stuffed otter and some old ornaments

Yup,the pinoy fiesta farce Next year there will be a similar scottish debacle with splinter groups springing up and holding fiestas in back gardens,and sol taking pictures at each in his blue shoes

Guys, just to let everyone know..it was on and it was there in Kelvin Hall,,and just to let you know it was A BIG SUCCESS!! Yes, there was an antique show in one of the halls..Kelvin Hall is consist of different halls,, the Barrio Fiesta was in the biggest hall which area 4 and 5. You should have walked further and no way you will missed it. Over a thousand people turned up..Including Madonna Decena and Randy Santiago. Randy was at the finale,,he did an hour concert and dancing with our kababayans.

That was a shame that most of you missed it..but we never going to promote it and surely cancel it, if there was any problem...

there were stalls for food and filipino goods also..even promotions for tagalog channels..
anyway,for those of you who missed it,,there will always be a next year,,and I am sure if it was a big success,,next year will be better..

Mabuhay,,Glasgow!! Mabuhay,,FILGLAS!!!!
