Last Sunday's concert at the Cathedral of The Isles attracted a large audience who gave a warm welcome to the members of the Alastair Savage Trio.

We heard a fascinating programme of music for Scots fiddle accompanied by guitar and double bass. Such a concert can easily be a run of the mill affair, but this was not. Alastair and his companions Iain Crawford (bass) and Euan Drysdale (guitar) played music in a traditional idiom, but with subtlety and elegance.

As well as music from fiddlers of the 18th and 19th centuries, we heard new music composed by Alastair himself. Some pieces related to a North American tour, whilst others were linked to a wedding celebration on Islay . Truly a broad range of inspiration.

Next Sunday visitors will hear a re-enactment of the ancient service of Vespers, as sung by the the Scottish Plainsong Choir. Plainsong is the oldest form of music in Western European and dates back at least 1000 years. It has become popular in recent years again, and it is associated with ancient buildings like Rosslyn Chapel. This event will take on Sunday at 3. All welcome .
