Join The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra and fill virtual buckets for Marie Curie
The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra will be broadcasting a full concert recording on YouTube on Saturday the 16th of May, 2020 in place of our postponed concert to support our loyal followers and our charity partners Marie Curie. Marie Curie provides care and support for people who are dying or living with a terminal illness, as well as their loved ones. As the Coronavirus pandemic unfolds their nurses and hospices are on the frontline and needed more than ever to keep caring for dying people with and without coronavirus. Just at the time their hospices and community nursing services are needed more than ever their income has been decimated by the lockdown. As a consequence they have had to launch an Emergency Appeal to raise the quarter of a million pounds they need every week to run Scottish services. So, why not sit back in the comfort and safety of your own home and join Blair Parham, Colette Ruddy, Dennis Haggerty, Robert Lovie and The SFO for a great night in and perhaps in return donate to the Marie Curie Emergency Appeal. Let's try and fill those virtual buckets to the brim. Come and join us at http://sfo.org.uk/join-the-scottish-fiddle-orchestra-and-f…/ and donate via the link below or Text NURSE to 70633. |

World Fiddle Day
The Covid 19 in 2020 has created a very difficult set of circumstances for the arts community throughout the world and across all cultures. It has presented mankind with a great deal of tragedy, sorrow and hardship. In recognition of the Italian Peoples' early response to a swift and savage outbreak and by virtue of ordinary people rapidly encouraging hope, community and resilience through performances of wonderful music from balconies and street corners for neighbours and friends, the Italian People have been collectively named as Patrons for World Fiddle Day 2020. In making this nomination, it is clearly recognised that the Italian People are not alone nor unique in their actions. Artists around the world have freely and unselfishly played their part in lifting spirits and inspiring hope for the world's communities in very troubled times. Thanks to them all wherever they are and whatever they play and long may their music inspire, reward and heal those in need. |
