We need your help! Just over a year ago, our hugely successful and inspirational Going for Gold concerts were part of the Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme. We’ve recently heard that the programme is in the running to win a National Lottery Award (it’s up against 6 other organisations in the Best Arts category)! The Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme celebrated Scotland and Glasgow’s hosting of the XX Commonwealth Games and was the most ambitious and wide-reaching programme of national cultural activity that has ever taken place in the country, with audiences of over 2 million in music, theatre, exhibition, dance, poetry and film, and over 600,000 participants. Click here to vote for the Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme, or follow the campaign on twitter: hashtag #NLAwards. Voting is open now and closes at midnight on Wednesday 29th July!

We had a great time at The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall as part of their latest Minimal Music festival (on Sat 2nd/Sun 3rd May)! We were thrilled with the turnout of young people who came to experiment on the vast number of percussion instruments and loved watching them make music with some new friends! The end result was a fantastic piece that explored different rhythms and dynamics, led by the brilliant Olly Cox (not Murs) - very impressive after only 45 minutes! Hope to be back next year!See below for a few comments from the participating families about their favourite bits and a peek at some of the photographic evidence! “The ability of the main host and taking part”“Changing over to try different instruments and the warm up”“Beating
