A lovely group of performers from Strathfleet Buttons and Bows gave a splendid concert of Scottish Traditional music last evening in St Finnbarr’s Church. This was the third Autumn Concert that the group have performed in St Finnbarr’s, with the largest number of musicians.

The music ranged from the wonderfully evocative tribute to “The Heroes of Longhope” to the bouncy “Crossing the Minch” and along the way we left Stornaway and Lismore, said Fairwell to Golspie and experienced a Starry Night in Shetland.

There were refreshments at half time and the enthusiastic audience enjoyed a sing-song of war-time favourites immediately after their tea break. As they say, a good time was had by all and a huge thanks to everyone involved.

The concert had a retiring collection to be shared between the work of St Finnbarr’s and the work of Buttons and Bows.
