Dalmellington gearing up for slow melody spectacular

Friday 5 February 2016

Dalmellington Band is preparing to host its slow melody competition.

MEMBERS of Dalmellington Band are hard at work as they prepare to impress in the 71st Cecil Oughton Memorial Slow Melody Competition.

Tickets are now available for the event on Saturday, February 13, which is followed by a concert and dinner, with licensed bar. Alan Fernie is due to adjudicate the contest in Dalmellington Community Centre, with proceedings getting underway at 3pm.

Shona Hutchison, of Dalmellington Band, commented: "Band members are practising hard ahead of the slow melody competition and I would encourage everyone to come along and support them.

"There will be lots for audience members to enjoy including a short concert and dinner with a distinctly Scottish flavour, so it promises to be a terrific day for everyone involved."

Tickets cost £13 per person, or £6 for under 12s and are available by calling Jan Murray, band secretary, on 01292 264194 or emailing dalmellington_band_secretary@yahoo.co.uk
