I’m delighted that I’ve been offered a place on the ‘One and Other’ 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square, and will be there playing my fiddle for an hour between midnight on Saturday 12th and 1am on Sunday 13th September. I’m aiming to use the opportunity to raise some money for charity, and also raise awareness of the Scots Music Group, so please pass this information on to anyone who you think may be interested. The hour is recorded by ‘One and Other’ and will be streamed live on their website while I’m on the plinth.
As part of my hour on the plinth, I’ll be playing a lovely new tune, which has been specially composed by Sarah Northcott (who has been a tutor with SMG since 1992). The tune currently has no name. An online auction, selling the right to name the new tune, will be launched immediately after my spot on the plinth. The money from the winner’s bid will be donated to a charity of their choice. Bids can be made online anytime during the week from 1am on Sunday 13th September and 1am on Sunday 20th September. There’s more information on the auction here: http://www.scotsmusic.org/events/plinth_auction/
I’ll be joined by 5 friends from the Diggers session in Edinburgh, who will be recreating a typical Scottish traditional music session at the base of the plinth. (Due to restrictions by the GLA, who have given us permission for this session to take place, we are unfortunately not allowed to make this an open session, and have had to limit it to 5 musicians) If you are in London that night, do come along and say hello!
