Happy St Andrews Day one and all X
We were at Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain's St Andrew's Party at the Royal Concert Hall last night. With the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Barbara Dickson, the elite Scottish National Youth Pipe Band and various youngsters from the Conservatoire. Not a saltire in sight, but wow did it stir the blood, especially that heart stopping moment when the orchestra is giving it laldy and suddenly, unexpectedly, from the upper gallery, the pipes join in and half the audience is reaching for their hankies.
