"We lived at 30 Collins Place, opposite Glenogle Baths.

All my early performing was in the Usher Hall at Heriots Concerts.  I also sold SNO programmes at the Usher Hall  every Friday night, all of which helped me towards my future career in classical music."

Assembly Rooms

"This picture of the Assembly Rooms on the web site brought back many memories of playing in Competition Festivals and later attending gatherings there during the main Festival."
