Due to the heavy rain we have been experiencing it is with great regret that the AIYF Blog announces the cancellation of today’s Listen @ Lunchtime Concert at Union Terrace Gardens, featuring Gary Straker’s Steel Pan School Orchestra. The vibrant group from Trinidad and Tobago helped launch this year’s festival last night at a reception hosted by Professor Dominic Houlihan, Vice-Principal of the University of Aberdeen. Earlier in the day, the band had joined with the steel drum band from Bankhead Academy, led by ex-festival courier, Kirsty Robertson. The rehearsal allowed both groups of young people to meet, mix and share knowledge and experiences and was hailed as a great success by alll involved.
The cancellation of the lunchtime concert won’t dampen the spirits of the visitors who have a busy programme ahead of them over the next 2 weeks with concerts and workshops in Aberdeen and around the North-East.
