It is an association that has grown in strength throughout her sixty-year reign. There is no doubt that Scotland has played, and continues to play an important role in The Queen's life. As a child, she spent blissful summers with her maternal grandparents at Glamis Castle and today it is Balmoral and the Western isles that she returns to for her private time away from the eyes of the world. Each year she moves her household to Scotland for Royal Week hosting a garden party for over 8,000 people and she bestows honours on Scots from all walks of life. As she prepares to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee, this programme – made by Finestripe Productions - looks back on a very special relationship.

Lorna Gardner _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dha Gordon a-mhain / Just for Gordon Sunday 1 January BBC ALBA, 10.00 – 11.00pm In December 2005 Scotland tragically lost one of its most innovative musicians and composers of the age of 41. It is surprising though that this world renowned Scottish musician was not someone that would be instantly recognised by the vast majority of the public in Scotland, yet his music is played the world over. Gordon Duncan, from Perthshire, was quite simply unique as a Piper of his generation. He was a multi instrumentalist and prolific composer. Just for Gordon is a new documentary for BBC ALBA about his life and the tunes he wrote that have quickly become a mainstay of the Scottish traditional music repertoire. His tunes had true significance, not just in their unique and original arrangement but also in their very inspiration often from entertaining occurrences in Gordon's life - Andy Renwick's Ferret, The Famous Barovan, The SleepingTune, Break Yer Bass Drone and Zito the Bubbleman - to name but a few. His tunes can be heard at T in the Park, Celtic Connections, Celtic Colours in Canada, The Lorient festival in Brittany and the Fleadh Cheòil in Ireland. Gordon Duncan helped to put piping on the map for a whole new generation and for his pupils such as Ross Ainslie and Ali Hutton who are now themselves making their mark in the traditional music scene by following his style. The programme features the musicians that knew and played with him and those who continue to play and be inspired by his music, especially his own pupils…. a celebration of the music and memory of Gordon Duncan. Lorna Gardner MONDAY 2 JANUARY TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 1 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ SPL Kilmarnock v St Mirren Monday 2 January BBC ALBA, 5.30 – 7.30pm The latest full-match coverage from the SPL as Kilmarnock host St Mirren at Rugby Park. Lorna Gardner _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Behind the Fairytale, Prog 1/1 NEW Monday, 2 January BBC Radio Scotland, 8am – 9am bbc.co.uk/radioscotland Dermot O'Leary presents the multi-layered story behind the Christmas classic Fairytale of New York by The Pogues featuring Kirsty McColl. The programme explores the origins and journey of this iconic song, from how it came to be written to the recording process, the repercussions it has for the Irish emigrant population in New York and the lasting testament to the talents of the late Kirsty McColl. Suzanne Vickers TUESDAY 3 JANUARY TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 1 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ River City Tuesday 3 January BBC One Scotland, 8.00 – 9.00pm bbc.co.uk/rivercity This week in Shieldinch…Confusion at the Hamilton’s causes problems; Stevie becomes enemy number one again; and Bob and Tattie face their future. Malcolm’s day gets off to a bad start when he drops his wallet – but luckily Stevie finds it and quickly returns it. Malcolm is delighted and gives him the job of putting up shelves in his house. Liz isn’t too keen when she finds out Malcolm has given him a key – but realises she has to trust him. Meanwhile, Stevie is keen to make use of the empty house with Nicole. When Liz returns, Nicole has left but Stevie is acting shifty so when Malcolm’s watch goes missing there’s only one person Liz suspects. However, the problem lies closer to home and it’s Eileen who will realise. Stevie is delighted to get the job at Malcolm’s and also to get some time alone with Nicole. He is surprised when he meets his old friend Cammy in Shieldinch but is firm when he is offered drugs, telling Cammy he is clean. Later when suspicions are raised about Stevie stealing Malcolm’s watch, Stevie decides he should leave town until the dust settles and the truth comes out. Meanwhile Nicole is under pressure from her dad and he puts doubts in her head about whether she really knows if Stevie is using again – especially if his old friends are hanging around. Nicole takes a sneaky look in Stevie’s bag but is caught red-handed. With Stevie realising Nicole doesn’t even trust him, it’ll take

  • QH 40Th Anniversary Press Release
    EMBARGOED TILL 5/11/18 at midday THE QUEEN’S HALL – LIFE BEGINS AT 40 1979-2019: Former church celebrates 40 years of welcoming music worshippers through its doors Southside of the Tracks 12.01.19 Steven Osborne & Alban Gerhardt 06.07.19 The Queen’s Hall enters its fortieth year in 2019 with a packed and varied programme of high quality events which reflect the wealth of entertainment it has provided audiences over the years, whilst also looking forward to a bright future. The celebrations start on 12 January with a who’s who of singer-songwriters brought together on the same stage for the first time by Scotland’s foremost fiddle player, John McCusker. Renowned for his skill at transcending musical boundaries, John has shared stages with Paul Weller, Paolo Nutini and Teenage Fanclub and has been a member of Mark Knopfler’s house band since 2008. In Southside of the Tracks: 40 years of traditional music at The Queen’s Hall he will perform with his chosen house band of James Mackintosh, Ian Carr, Ewen Vernal, Michael McGoldrick and Louis Abbott (Admiral Fallow) with special guests, so far, Roddy Woomble (Idlewild), Kathleen MacInnes, Phil Cunningham, Adam Holmes, Daoiri Farrell, Heidi Talbot and Rachel Sermanni. More guests are to be announced. Nigel Griffiths, Chair of The Queen’s Hall Board of Trustees says, “We’re starting our fortieth year as we mean to go on and have a bold and ambitious programme which reflects the calibre of artists performing on our stage. In the face of developing competition it is so important for Edinburgh, as the capital city, to keep this beloved institution on the map and I believe we’re now poised to enter a truly dynamic era in The Queen’s Hall’s history.” To commemorate the concert on 6 July 1979 when The Queen’s Hall was officially opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II, we have multi-award-winning Scottish pianist Steven Osborne with one of the world’s finest cellists Alban Gerhardt performing a programme of Schumann, Brahms, De falla, Debussy and Ravel.

In 2008 UNESCO awarded Glasgow the title of ‘City of Music’ and the application dossier submitted in support of this title noted the importance of rock and pop for the city’s musical reputation. Since the late 1970s a large number of bands have emerged from (or been associated with) the city, yet little academic research has been carried out to determine the factors behind this phenomenon.
