We have solo players for hire for birthdays, parties and more - we have very much enjoyed playing at so many different and unique events. Let us know how we can help - from mini band to full band, and even some lovely highland dancers to make for a grand show.

en fete ensemble - we play together
Back in 2018, we were approached by the French television channel TVO to support a production of French family programming they were doing on the arts. We invited them along to our annual 'Scotland Tonight' concert at the Shenkman Theatre, and they did a recording of Alexis MacKenzie and her friend, and Alexis is a student of PM Bethany Bisaillion. Please enjoy this terrific program - it's great to support the arts in this way!
