EVEN TRADITIONAL MUSIC…

The National Centre for Excellence in Traditional Music, Scotland's only centre for excellence in traditional music may be saved from closure despite the apparently final decision by Highland council to axe its £300,000 annual funding. The council's proposal to completely stop funding the centre at Plockton high school near Skye, effectively closing it down, was raised with first minister Alex Salmond in the Scottish parliament recently just as councillors in Inverness rubber-stamped the decision. The Scottish government has issued a statement which raises hopes that Highland council may be forced to rescind the decision or that alternative funding could be found.
