Sax concert

Iain Clarke, currently at Arran High School, is a phenomenal player of the saxophone, which he studies at the Royal Conservatoire in Glasgow. To our great good fortune, he has teamed up with three other sax students for a mini-tour of Arran. Their first concert is on Wednesday, 4th February in Brodick Church, followed by a second the next night in St Molios’ church in Shiskine.

Despite the choice of venue, their programme is a cheerfully eclectic one, with a dash of everything from Mozart to be-bop. Saxophones come in a variety of sizes and ‘voices’, so this quartet will have a great range of sound to pick from. The concerts should be great fun and crackingly good music, thoughtfully planned to give people on both sides of the island an easy chance to hear them. Tickets are £5, either at the door or from the Book and Card Centre.
