Every summer from 2007 to 2013, I have performed a series of summer concerts for Historic Scotland at St Andrews Cathedral ruins. Unfortunately from 2014 the Cathedral are no longer able to host this popular series.
However, I really wanted to continue with this fine tradition and so we have booked All Saints Church hall on North Castle Street in the heart of old St Andrews. This is a nice arts-and-crafts venue, and I have used it before for a concert.
I also wanted to keep the concerts as free admission events as they have been since the very beginning.
This is where you come in. In the absence of reliable institutional funding, would you be able to help keep this series going as one of the highlights of the summer season in St Andrews?
I have set up an indiegogo crowdfunding page at igg.me/at/harp
Any amount that you are able to contribute will be a great help towards the costs of running this series.
I am planning to run four concerts, on the first Wednesday of each month from June through to September, at 12.45pm.
You can see details of the proposed programmes on the website at

Please pass this on to any friends you know who would be interested in helping support the harp concert series. And I hope to see you at the concerts!
