Glasgow BTS event hots up

Written By: David Read Comments: 0

Sunday 13 May 2007 will see the first big BTS event in Scotland for some time. The event will be held at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in sunny Glasgow. The programme covers both afternoon and evening, with something for everyone. Main featured artists so far are the brilliant Bones Apart, who need no introduction and Mike Suter, ex-Stan Kenton Band bass trombone wizard, who will come with his latest CD and newly designed Kanstul bass trombone. Several other big names have threatened to come - details will be posted on this website as they happen. There will be something for everyone... young and old, amateur and pro. Bones Apart will give a workshop for young players, the RSAMD trombonists will be showcased, both in solo and ensemble works, there will be trade stands, and even a class in slide lubrication! There will be chances for everyone to blow, starting with a massed warm-up, and with an open-to-all rehearsal for two slots in the evening concert. The post-concert social gatherings in Scotland are legendary, and there is every chance of that tradition being upheld. Free entry for everybody to all events. Final details will be published here closer to the day. Be there! Chris Stearn
