🎶 A little musical recommendation from us…

We’re delighted to give a shout-out to our friend Nicola MacRae, who’ll be back at the Corstorphine Astoria Centre this September with Poptastic Pipes.

Nicola will be putting the remarkable Ingram cinema organ through its paces with pop favourites from the 1950s to the 80s and beyond. A proper toe-tapping trip through the decades — and a chance to hear the world’s only surviving Ingram cinema organ in action. 🎹✨

📅 Saturday 19 September
🕖 7pm
📍 Corstorphine Astoria Centre
🎟️ Tickets £15

We’re always happy to support our musical friends — and this sounds like a cracking evening. Come for the pipes, stay for the pop. 🎶🖤

Our congratulations to Sir James MacMillan on his appointment to The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle. We enjoy singing his music, and were privileged to welcome him to our performance of "All the Hills and Vales Along" a few years ago.

🎖🎶 Congratulations to James MacMillan, who has been appointed by the King to the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle.

The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle represents the highest honour in Scotland. Revived by King James VII, the Order has a complement of 16 Knights and Ladies (KT). The King is the Sovereign of the Order, and appointments to the Order of the Thistle are entirely in the personal gift of The King.

James MacMillan has long been committed to the musical life of Scotland and has close relationships with all the major music organisations in his home country. He was awarded a Knighthood in the 2015 Queen's Birthday honours and Royal Communications announced on 3 March 2026 that His Majesty has approved the award of The King’s Gold Medal for Music to him.
