Hello!! Ellie here to give the final blog as we draw to a close on
this March Tunnell tour.
Today marked the end of our second tour of Scotland as part of the
Tunnell Trust. Bright sunshine greeted us as we began the day with a hearty Scottish
brunch and then it was off to the Cathedral for our last concert. We have been
so excited to finish off this fantastic tour with a visit to the eminent
structure that is Dunblane cathedral (and the home of Andy Murray). Once again
the warm welcome from the audience confirmed to us that their introduction to
the incredible, and often strange sounds of the saxophone quartet went down
very well.
What an experience this has been!!! We feel so lucky to have had the
opportunity to visit Scotland and explore sleepy towns, lively cities, serene lochs
and imposing hillsides: and all whilst doing exactly what we love! What has
struck us the most has been the incredible kindness and hospitality shown to us
by all of our hosts. Throughout both the Tunnell Trust tours, in January and
March, we have met people who have led the most incredible lives and they have
been generous enough to share their stories and experiences with us. The
settings, the people and the music has been wonderful and this experience has
really cemented our belief that we really do have the best job in the world!
Thank you to all of our incredible hosts, to everyone at the music
societies and most of all to Tunnell Trust to making this all possible! It is
four very tired but blissfully content individuals (and a new addition of a set
of bagpipes) that will board the sleeper tonight taking us back home to London.
So for the last time…(for now)… Thank you Scotland, you have been
brilliant! Over and out.
