150th Anniversary - Bo'ness Slow Medley Contest

In association with Bo'ness & Carriden and Unison Kinneil Bands

SCOTTISH CHAMPIONS & 150 NOT OUT!!

Bo’ness & Carriden Band  got their 150^th Anniversary of to a flying start on Sunday with victory in the Scottish Championships.

With a confident and musical performance of Gilbert Vinter’s “James Cook, Circumnavigator”, the band not only took the 1^st Section national title but also won the best instrumentalist prize.  This went to their Soprano Cornet player, Richard Tobin, who thoroughly deserved this recognition after a stunning musical performance.

The contest took place in The Rothes Halls in Glenrothes, which is a new venue for this event, and proved a popular choice with the public.  A packed hall witnessed Bo’ness & Carriden take to the stage after being drawn number 6 and as one observer commented “ the band lifted the competition to new levels with a performance that outshone all that had played before” more
