Military band includes Montrose date on national tour

Fans of the Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland can hear the performance at Montrose Academy on October 21 as part of a series of concerts, ‘Celebrating our Heroes’.

Renowned for their performances at Holyrood Palace and the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the talented musicians will be touring with a repertoire that includes folk music inspired from across Scotland, and a collaboration with Hawick musician and songwriter, Alan Brydon.

The events follow similar successful tours in 2018 and 2019. All proceeds will go to help Poppyscotland deliver its life-changing support for members of the Armed Forces community.

Gordon Michie, head of fundraising, said: “We’re delighted to welcome back the band after a two-year break. This is a fantastic chance to hear the internationally acclaimed band at local venues around Scotland. They are always very popular, so we’d encourage music lovers to buy their tickets early before they sell out.”

Tickets cost £15 (£12 for concessions) are available at www.poppyscotland.org.uk/get-involved/things-to-do/2022-band-tour.
