Wighton Heritage Centre, Central Library
For the second of our Year of Young People Lunchtime Recitals, the Ciar Milne Trio play at the Wighton Centre today – Wednesday 1st August – 1.15pm to 1.45pm.
These three very talented Dundee school pupils – Dundee music maestro Kenny Christie describes them as “fab”- are Ciar Milne, small/border pipes, Hannah Dineen, fiddle, and Robbie Lamond, guitar.
Hannah and Ciar have been playing together since September 2017. As well as playing in the Dundee Schools’ Spring Concerts, they played in Würzburg, Germany in May, as part the Dundee-Würzburg twinning programme. Since then, the trio has been doing gigs for Dundee City Council including the Educational Institute of Scotland’s Annual General Meeting and the World Kanzen Karate Championships President’s Dinner.
Admission is free though our shiny pink piggy-bank will be happy to receive donations!

Scotland Gas Networks work on Riverside Drive starts today #dundeewestend
As indicated in the council’s weekly road report I shared yesterday, gas network work commmences on Riverside Drive today.
Scotland Gas Networks’ Stakeholder and Community Officer has advised me as follows :
“Following discussions with Dundee City Council, our project will start on Monday 30 July and last approximately six weeks. We’ve split the project into two phases to help minimise disruption.
During phase one of our work we’ll be working in Riverside Drive, near the entrance for Barnetts Mazda garage. To ensure everyone’s safety while we work, two-way temporary traffic lights will be in place around our work area. We expect this phase to be complete within three weeks.
Our work will then continue eastwards along the road. During phase two we’ll be working east of Tay Rail Bridge and three-way temporary traffic lights will be in place around our work area. Riverside Approach will also be closed to southbound traffic and a diversion route will be in place for motorists.
We’ve created a dedicated webpage for this project which can be accessed through the following link – here.
We always aim to minimise disruption and we will make every effort to ensure our works are completed as soon as possible.”
