Workshop with Nigel Gatherer AM, invaded Tunnock’s tea room for lunch, and enjoyed a big session PM with Boyd Tunnock joining the band. More pics to follow.
Anyone lost a black music stand? Still at church but we might be able to get it back to you without you trailing to the church.
Lost a black umbrella with white raindrops logo? I have it.

Many thanks to all the players last night.
We played for about 50 mins before dinner and enjoyed the speeches and raffle.
I think the songs and dances went really well.
A lovely night out.
Scratchy had fun playing background music at a Burns Supper at Pollok House on Saturday. We put on our gladrags and played our socks off! I think we got the sound about right despite the tricky acoustics. Afterwards enjoyed haggis, neeps and tatties in the Servants’ Hall – we know our place! Thanks to Lynne, Cass and the team at Pollok for the lovely haggis and neeps, delicious! Enjoy the photos below..
