  "Peter Daldry was the featured entertainer at the Innes Clan 2008 AGM held in Monterey, CA. Peter is a talented
  singer and his informal style and lively patter provided our guests with an evening of impressive music and good
  humor. His voice is one of the best of the Celtic performers and the Innes Clan Society hopes he will be available
  for one of our future events.
  
  We look forward to seeing Peter at the Pleasanton Scottish Games and hope that he will be part of the
  entertainment at the Costa Mesa Scottish Festival in 2009."
