Feedback
Thank you all so much for a great evening in Birnam last night! We met Mike, Bruce and Gerry at the Blackford fiddle workshop in the Tolbooth on Saturday, which was great - thanks. For us aspiring fiddlers going to a fantastic concert can be inspirational, uplifting and motivating, or just make you want to burn your fiddle and top yourself! Happily last night was inspirational! Hope you continue to have fun on the rest of the tour, and that maybe we'll see you again one day.

Tune Up: About
Tune Up is an initiative of the Scottish Arts Council to support music touring in Scotland. It is funded by National Lottery as was established in 2003 to bring high quality live music to communities the length and breadth of the country.
Particular emphasis of the programme is unique artistic collaborations and imaginative proposals for touring to the more remote parts of the country or those that do not usually benefit from a varied range of the highest quality live music. It also enables Scottish and international artists to visit and be inspired by new parts of Scotland and to interact with new local audiences.
The scheme is now in its fifth year and previous tours have included hundreds of artists including: Eddi Reader, the Battlefield Band, Aberfeldy, The Delgados, Michael McGoldrick, Julie Fowlis, Hebrides Ensemble, Tinariwen, King Creosote, Renaud Garcia Fons, Akio Suzuki & John Butcher, Omar Sosa, Jaipur Kawa Brass Band, Phil Bancroft Quartet and The Unusual Suspects.
It has toured artists to: Orkney, Skye, Strontian, Livingston, Paisley, Pilton, Dunfermline, Melrose, Giffnock. Tobermoray, Wick, Dumfries, Kilmardinny, Dunkeld, Banchory, Findhorn, Peebles, Glenfarg, Thurso, Stornoway, Strathpeffer, Castle Douglas, Glenuig, Craignish, Alness, Ullapool, Invershin, Newton Stewart, Glenrothes, Lerwick, Drumnadrochit, Durness, Easterhouse, Wormit, Hoy, Spey Bay and Hamilton as well as to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Perth, Stirling, Aberdeen and St Andrews.
