Getting things done – Greenbank Place #dundeewestend

Last week, residents drew to my attention to the fact that part of the boundary fence in Greenbank Place had fallen – see photo :


I am grateful to the City Council for responding to my request to have it repaired.    This has now taken place.


Ellis O‘Connor – Artist’s Talk


From the Curator of Museum Services at the University of Dundee :

Ellis’s O’Connor’s dramatic paintings of North Uist currently on show in the Tower Foyer Gallery are the perfect complement to all this stormy weather! 

On Friday 6th March at 6pm, Ellis will be returning to Dundee to give a free talk about her work and about the extraordinary places she has visited on artist’s residencies, including Iceland, Norway and the Svalbard Archipelago. 
Ellis’s talk, Drawing North, will take place in the D’Arcy Thompson Zoology Museum, Carnelley Building. Please enter by the main front entrance of the building. Refreshments will be served after the talk. Admission is free but it would be helpful if you could book a place here.


Friends of Wighton event

From Sheena Wellington :

Wighton Heritage Centre, Central Library – Wednesday 4th March – 1.15pm – 1.45pm     Lesley Ann McLuckie, singer

Singer Lesley Ann McLuckie is one of the hidden gems of the Scottish music scene.  Though she has always loved traditional song, work and family commitments curtailed her involvement until a meeting with Maureen Jelks, through a carers singing group, led to friendship and involvement in the Angus Trad Roots sessions.

She regards the Fisherman’s session in Broughty Ferry as her second home and it was there she received the ultimate accolade for a traditional singer – an invitation to sing in ‘The Worlds Room” in Edinburgh.

Admission free, donations welcomed.
