Editorial
We’re rather short of articles this month. If anyone feels they would like to write something for us then please get in touch.
Well done to all the winners at the Dumfries Festival. Heather was at the Newtongrange Competitions, and you can read all about them next month.
Nicol was helping Robbie to celebrate his birthday, and you can see some of the photos on the back page. The B&F would like to wish Robbie ‘Many Happy Returns’ and thank him for everything that he has done for Scottish music over the years.
