Big treat for music lovers when our national symphony orchestra makes a rare appearance in a place as wee as Campbeltown this Saturday. The Royal Scottish National Orchestra are at the Victoria Hall at 6 o' clock on Saturday 9 September. Great programme (Beethoven's Egmont overture, Mozart's Clarinet Concerto & the Sibelius 2nd Symphony) from a great band. They've not been here in nearly 20 years so let's hope they get a big turn out.

Anyone go? Any pictures?
Tried to get along for some photos but wasn't allowed to put the paint brush down!

A good turn-out and a great concert. Good to see the school so well represented by both staff and pupils! John Cushing made a great soloist in the Mozart and James Lowe is a conductor we'll hear more of in the future. The orchestra was superb in every department and must have been close to taking the roof off in the finale of the Sibelius. A scorching performance. Let's hope it won't be another 30 years till they're back again (their last appearance here was in the early 70s under Gibson (not yet 'Sir' Alex). I'm afraid I was too busy enjoying the music to think about taking photos!
