Kirkmahoe Senior Citizens' Evening 25th February 2011

Young performers from Wallacehall Academy

Everyone enjoyed the fourth Senior Citizens' Social Evening presented by Kirkmahoe Community Council - the audience of more than 30 senior citizens, the helpers and, not least, the performers.

This year we were privileged to be entertained by a group of nine, very talented, senior pupils from Wallace Hall Academy.

Under the expert guidance of Kelvin Riley and Hannah Ferguson they put together a superb variety of music, ranging from an Hungarian Czardas on the violin (Amy Muirhead), 'I Dreamed a Dream' from Les Miserables (Amie Kirkpatrick), piano solos (Martha Ferguson), jazz pieces on the saxaphone (Erin Williamson), French accordion music (Adele Queen) and Scottish ensemble music (Erin McGinley and Grace Dale).

The audience were given a chance to join in and surprised the performers by their fine singing of traditional and modern songs, and of course there was the usual refreshment and raffle.

Thanks very much to the young people who gave up their time for the event and gave us such a good evening, we wish them all success in the future.( Jean Muir)
