Sounds Of Music At The Royal Highland Show 2007
Musical entertainment at this year’s Royal Highland Show will range from the military spectacle of the band of the Royal Marines to the “sunshine” sounds of Cuba and Latin America.
There’s an eclectic feel to the music programme with Scottish country dance music, Dixieland jazz, pipes and drums and opera all featuring.
With Stirling the host area of the show for 2007 a number of local musicians and singers will be appearing, including youngsters from Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannan Schools, Clackmannan Brass and the Strathcarron Singers, volunteers who raise funds for Strathcarron Hospice.
The Band of HM Royal Marines will be “headlining” on the Sunday and other sounds to listen out for over the show’s four day run include the Marion Anderson Ceilidh Band, La Sonera Calaveras, an eight piece Latin American inspired outfit, trad jazz from the Rhythm Kings and Opera Ecosse with four graduates from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music Opera School presenting popular operatic arias.
The show will be welcoming a group of young Australian pipers and drummers from the Scots College in Queensland and similar sounds will come from the Royal Scots Association Pipes and Drums and the Queen Victoria School from Perthshire.
Also on the programme is the Drumatic Samba Band from Fife, the Dunbartonshire Concert Band, the 52nd TA Lowland Band and, with a Ukrainian delegation coming to the show, there will be traditional music from the former Soviet republic.
The Royal Highland Show – major sponsor The Royal Bank of Scotland – takes place at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston, Edinburgh, on June 21-24.
