Another year's plans for Andrew Clermont's Supper Club - this year including the fabulous Catherine Fraser master of Scottish fiddle, and a glittering (sometimes literally) lineup of faces (and bowing/picking hands) familiar and new! It's always something new and fun - Saturday afternoon as part of the Festival weekend.
