Last year's
'COOL CONCERT' was a huge success, and enjoyed
immensely by both audience and participants.
This year's concert features the best
young traditional musicians of the Scottish Borders and beyond. Our aim is
to include a range of ages of players, singers and performers, all of whom
are involved in traditional music in one form or another and all of whom
are keen to have performance opportunities.
Already lined up to perform are:-
Coldstream Primary School - 'Wee
Linties' p1 & 2
Highland Dancers
'Shona's wee group'
'Highline' - Fiddle group
'The Small Hall Band'
'Riddell Fiddles'
Solo Singers:- Robyn Kinsman Blake, Eliza Younger
Song Duets :- Brigid Mhairie and friends
Accordionists :-Scott Turnbull, Andrew Waite
This year we
specially welcome Folk form 'Folkestra'-
“The Sage Gateshead’s regional youth folk ensemble, which includes
several young talented players from the Borders as well as from the North
of England.
Finally, we have the exciting young trad group, The
House Sisters, two thirds of whom are from Kelso. Carly
Blain and Rachel Cross, together with keyboard player and singer Kira
Slater recently enjoyed huge success at The Wynd in Melrose as part of the
“Northern Streams series of concerts.
Please support this
event and give encouragement to the young folks, some of whom may be
performing for the first time in a large concert.
We are grateful for the involvement of Youth Music Initiative staff Susie Kelly and Shona
Mooney, both Traditional Song and Music Development workers with Scottish
Borders Council.
We will use the newly re-furbished Coldstream Community Centre - winner of
Lottery Funding from 'The People's Millions'
