We were delighted to work with four professional musicians to stage the first performance with a choir of some wonderful arrangements of well-known Scots songs. These arrangements were from "Women's Voices" published in 1998 by Eddie McGuire, and the musicians were: Helen Duncan (cello), Sharleen Clapperton (violin), Paul Jourdan (violin) and Catherine Jourdan (viola). They came together specially for this event.

We would like to thank Awards For All for a Heritage Lottery Fund grant which enabled us to engage the musicians to rehearse and perform with us.
