February Besson Scottish Solo and Quartet Finals 3/02/07 The Quintet and a few members who qualified at the West of Scotland Contest last year, travelled to Bathgate for the Scottish Solo and Quartet Finals. The Quintet were in the older Youth Ensembles (16-21) this year and just missed out on the top spot, but won much praise from adjudicator Lesley Howie. They had been National Champions for three years in a row in the Intermediate section (under 16), but in their first year in the under 21’s, they faced much more experienced ensembles from around the country. Erin McSporran and Alison Campbell played very well in the Junior Solos, but were unlucky to be placed this time. Congratulations to Mark Good, as he became the Scottish Youth Solo Champion of 2007. He is the 1st Campbeltown Brass member to win the title since current Black Dyke player Morvern Gilchrist won it back in 1994! He also picked up the gold medal as Scottish Youth (under 18) Solo Champion as well, well done Mark!!
