Earlier in 2020 we were asked to gather and help support the virtual Manitoba Highland Gathering. https://youtu.be/ZWWpGXdWmaE This video was one of the outputs, thanks to https://www.facebook.com/MBHighlandGathering/ for including us.

It's obviously been a quiet year for us event-wise but that doesn't mean our members have not been doing anything in the interim. Wendy and Pedro have been keeping themselves busy improving their land, https://www.cbc.ca//man/couple-builds-viking-hut-1.5822140

So like everyone the Hands of Lugh are not out at the Icelandic Festival this year (COVID-19 is almost certainly all Loki's fault). However we are still very firmly committed to supporting the Icelandic Festival at home this year. Take a look at the Virtual Alternative Folk Festival, see if you can see some familiar faces, and keep your eyes open for fairies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I2PrQuvF5M... Look at all of the other awesome virtual events at https://www.icelandicfestival.com/ and stay safe everyone!
