Arran first choice for ‘On the Shore of the Mind’ tour

The Scotsman rightly described Mr McFall’s Chamber as ‘the jewel in the Scottish musical crown’. The Herald said the group is ‘the most important single development on the Scottish music scene for a long time’. And Arran is their first choice in a selected summer tour. They will be at Brodick Hall on Thursday, June 19th as the opening performance in a tour called ‘On the Shore of the Mind’, taking them from Edinburgh to the islands, with Arran their first stop.

McFall’s Chamber plays an amazing range of music, from tango through jazz and rock to contemporary classical, and much else as well. It consists of string quartet, bass, piano and percussion, with vocals from the glorious soprano, Susan Hamilton, well known for her performances with the Dunedin Consort. Its aim is to create ‘new audiences, new music and new possibilities’ – and it’s already a wild success. After their Edinburgh performance The Times reviewer asked, ‘Why can’t all concerts be like this – engaging, witty, relaxed, sophisticated, exquisitely played and just plain fun?’

So – for an evening of ‘just plain fun’ provided by Scotland’s top players, don’t miss this one. Tickets at £10 will be available from Inspirations or online from Arran Events, or can be bought at the door – provided there is still room!
