Saturday 19 August 10.30 for 11am
COFFEE CONCERT
Robin Andrews: "Border Lands"
A concert of music played on the

border bagpipes by Robin Andrews.

(Don’t worry, these pipes are about

half as loud as the Highland pipes

and much mellower.) There will be

a mixture of tunes from various

British and European Traditions,

as well as some original compositions.

 There will also be some quieter interludes

with tunes on the recorder and tin whistle.

Entrance by suggested donation of £5.
