After some extraordinarily hard work from our young musicians, the first concert day arrives with wind and rain all morning. By 3pm the sun is out and all is looking set fair for a lovely evening.
With 100 chairs put out for the concert we are hopeful of a great turn-out.
Thanks must again go to George, Jane, Fra and Karen at An Cridhe for all their hard work in helping to make the week go so smoothly. Thanks also to Tim for helping us set up the lighting for the concerts.
By 7.30pm the hall is feeling good and full with 85 in the audience.
Our four groups are performing in each of the three concerts so that most of the works they have been studying and rehearsing during the week are performed over the weekend.

It is so wonderful to see so many people who would not normally attend a chamber music concert turning out to give it a try and leaving saying how fantastic the evening was. That is Coll for you!
After the concert many of the audience join the musicians for another delicious dinner at An Cridhe.
