4BR had a great time at the recent Scottish Open and Scottish Youth Band Championships in Perth.

All the action

4BR Editor Iwan Fox and Goldy Solutions Ian Clowes were out and about all weekend catching up on the action, the bands and the people who made the event such a success in Perth.

We’ve already put some of the video features up on the 4BR site, but there are plenty more – from the cracking youth bands of Galashiels, Tullis Russell Mills, Arbroath and Irvine & Dreghorn to the people who run it, support it and even pay out the government’s arts grants...

There are plenty of great Goldy images at:
