During this time, many secretive traditions developed to allow those of Scottish and Celtic heritage to continue to display their pride of their culture. Many of these traditions are still carried out today. The Aberdeen Highland Games is one of the biggest and most revered local events that proudly stockpiles and displays a cornucopia of Scottish and Celtic traditions centuries old. This weekend locals and visitors to the township of Aberdeen will be transported to the Scottish Isles and will have the chance to see The Tartan Warriors battle it out with a traditional Strongman Competition; the ever- popular crowd-pleasing sport of Tug-Of-War (this year being the national titles); take in the soulful sounds of the massed pipe bands and a number of other traditional delights such as The Kirkin’ of the Tartan and the Piping in of the Haggis at the Robbie Burns Supper. To add to this, there will be markets, traditional Scottish food, clan information and memorabilia, children’s entertainment and novelty events. It’ll be a full weekend of highland flinging that is sure to be entertaining for Royal Hotel-Motel Scone the whole family! This event is a draw card for many hundreds of people to the town of Aberdeen, and every year the number of visitors grows larger. So grab your kilts, adjust your sporrans and purchase your tickets $10 lunch menu / $12 dinner specials Every Friday night @ 6.30pm online now!! The festivities begin on Thursday 3rd July with the Robbie (N/A public holidays) 15 meat tray raffles to be won Burns Supper and will conclude on Sunday 6th July with The Kirkin’ of Mondays: Lamb shanks plus joker draw with $600 up for the Tartan.

In 2010 he was awarded first prize in the GFA Concert Artist Competition, considered by many to be the most prestigious guitar competition in the world. The Upper Hunter Conservatorium of Music is pleased to present Johannes in a special concert in the magnificent acoustics of St Alban’s Church in Muswellbrook on Tuesday 15 July at 7pm. The Muswellbrook concert will be part of Johannes’s Australian tour; during his time in Australia Johannes will perform in diverse locations such as Darwin, Perth, Canberra and Sydney. The concert for the UHCM will be the first of the tour. Since playing his first public concert at the age of 13, Moller has made more than 500 appearances in Europe, Asia, South and North America. He holds degrees from the Royal College of Music in London, the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague and the Conservatoire in Amsterdam. The concert will feature some well-known works composed for guitar, as well as some of Johannes’s own compositions. www.facebook.com/EntertainerPublication Director of the UHCM, Adam Wills, says, “We’re looking forward to presenting this highly- accomplished musician as part of his Australian tour. It will be a privilege to hear the wonderful sounds of classical guitar in such an inspiring acoustic.” Johannes will also present a workshop for guitarists in the afternoon before his concert.
