Jingle Bells, White Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Coming to Town - the list goes on and on as The Ayrshire Fiddle Orchestra prepare their programme for their 36th Christmas Concert in Ayr Town Hall on Saturday, December 15. This will be the first concert that the Orchestra’s new recruits , who joined in August, will have the opportunity to join their colleagues on stage.

Over the festive season many groups will be playing in supermarkets and public spaces to raise much needed funds for their fantastic Rising Sun Tour to Japan next July when they will be performing in Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto and Hiroshima.

Next January the Orchestra have been honoured by being asked to provide music at the House of Commons Burns Supper and the Presiding Officer’s Burns Supper at Holyrood as well as taking part in the exciting ‘Burns Meets Gow’ concert in Ayr Gaiety on Wednesday, January 23.

Tickets for the Christmas Concert are available from Ayr Gaiety Box Office 01292 288235.
