The adjudicator was the highly respected Dorothy Howden, who adjudicates music festivals across the UK and internationally – in 2016 she is engaged for contests in Hong Kong and Singapore. She made some highly complementary comments on each of our competitors, along with valuable advice for future growth as a musician.
Thanks go to Portland Church for their kind offer of the venue, and to Mr Crerar from Troon Rotary for his initiative in organising the competition.
