Bellshill SA Band has recently launched its fourth CD release called, 'Diversity'.

Theme

The theme of the CD is trying to get people back to church through listening to diverse music and contains music from different genres as well as many of the band's soloists.

Bandmaster Ian Dickie told 4BR of his delight with the response already received in relation to the new recording.

He told 4BR: "It is selling well and we have already had to take our second allocation of CD’s from the producers."

Glamis Castle

Meanwhile the band is set to play at Glamis Castle, the former Scottish home of the Queen Mother.

The Castle was the childhood home of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, and her second daughter, Princess Margaret, was born there. Since 1987 an illustration of the castle has featured on the reverse side of ten pound notes issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Ian Dickie is delighted to be asked to play at this historic venue, especially after the band played last year at Arbroath Abbey where the High Alter would have been when the 'Declaration of Independence' was signed in 1320.

March plan

The band is planning to march at the castle and also get some photographs taken.

Ian added: "This is going to be a very busy day, but one that we have come to enjoy over the past few years. This day has been arranged by Major Jim McCluskey from Forfar SA. The band would like to thank Jim and all his financial supporters, for making these annual events a success."
