Karen Hannah at the Wighton!

From Sheena Wellington :
Wednesday 3rd May, Lunchtime Recital  – 1.15pm – 1.45pm.   Admission free
Wighton Heritage Centre, Central Library.
Karen Hannah, fiddle!
The inimitable Karen Hannah will be the guest at the first of the Friends of Wighton May Lunchtime Recitals on Wednesday 3rd.
A fine solo musician with an engaging personality, Karen also plays in several ensembles, including the wonderfully named Nifty Shades of Grey, Sporran Again and Ceilidh Minogue!  She has shared the stage with the finest traditional musicians around and has travelled the world, representing Scotland across Europe and as far afield as New Zealand, and South Korea.
Karen has tutored our fiddle class for ten years, most recently being involved with the formation of Abercraig, bringing young traditional musicians from Tayside together to play, in the first instance, at the televised Scottish Traditional Music Awards at the Caird Hall. 


No ward surgeries today – but on this Thursday!

As today is the May Day holiday at local schools, my usual ward surgeries at Harris Academy and the Mitchell Street Centre do not take place but I can be contacted at any time at home on 459378 or by e-mail at surgery@frasermacpherson.org.uk. 

My surgeries resume again on Thursday at 6.15pm prompt at Blackness Primary School (yes, its polling day, but Blackness Primary is not used as a polling station so my surgery can go ahead as normal!)
