Fiddle tunes from Scotland, played in Knoxville
The music is mostly traditional Scottish. It also takes in Cape Breton, the Southern Appalachians, and some wider European folk and classical tunes.
This site is a first draft.

For review:The repertoire sentence is David's description. Kelvin and Rachel should say what they play, and whether anyone else plays with them regularly.
The line above the picture at the top of the page also comes from David's brief and has not been checked with them. The picture is the Stones of Stenness in Orkney, an open-licence photograph used for mood. It is not a picture of the band.

Scottish session at Boyd's Jig & Reel
Boyd's Jig & Reel is a pub at 101 S. Central Street, in Knoxville's Old City. Its Scottish session meets on the second and fourth Thursday of the month. The pub's page gives 7:15 pm as the start.
The pub's page asks anyone who would like to join in to email the pub, and the pub keeps instruments on its wall for guests to borrow. Listeners usually sit at a nearby table or at the bar. Dates can change, so check the pub's Facebook page before you come. There is more on the sessions page.

For review:No session leader is named here on purpose. See the notes on the Sessions page: the pub's listings and David's brief disagree about who leads it, and the wording is for Kelvin to give.
Start time: 7:15 pm is on the pub's page, the Old City listing and the Knoxville Scottish Music Session site. An older listing on The Session says 7:30 pm.

About the name
In the folklore of Orkney and Shetland, trows are night-time beings who live in grassy mounds and are fond of music. The page about the name has more, with some photographs of Orkney.

For review:Only if Kelvin and Rachel want the name explained at all. The brief asks that the name's folklore live in pictures and not in puns or taglines, so this is kept to one plain sentence.
