The Commandos have had a absolutely fabulous relationship with the young musicians of Lochaber and the Highlands for many, many years. They support us each year at Spean Bridge and play for us each year at Lochaber High School. The support system that is the Regional Music Groups, which allows them the opportunity to develope their musical talent, is enviable to say the least. To have their funding taken away is absolute inconceivable!!!
A message from Karen Thompson whom some of you will have met in Fort William in recent years:
Thank you Geoff - we really need all the help and support we can get right now. If any of you have time to write a letter to Allan Henderson (the Provost) at the Council Chambers or Fergus Ewing MSP that would certainly help the cause. We've been told there's to be a public meeting here on May 17th so we're hoping the community rally round for that too.
Please pass on my heartfelt thanks and love to all.
