Ceol Mor a success at Trad Music Awards | |
The
AIYF's Trad Music Big Band - Ceol Mor - along with special guests including Jenna
Reid, wowed the crowds at the Trad Music Awards in Fort William.
"traditional
music is young people's music.... It flew off the stage with the massed fiddles,
brass and tight rhythms of Aberdeen International Youth Festival's folk orchestra,
Ceol Mor."
The Herald - review of Trad Music Awards
The festival
is especially pleased that the band managed to get back together for the performance,
as not only were members playing the night before in London, but two had to travel
all the way from Canada especially for the performance.

New logo for Grampian Youth Orchestra | |
Grampian Youth Orchestra is being given a new identity by The Agency.
The brand has been created by Agency Design Director Richard Phillips
