Dunfermline: Royal Regiment band to play Carnegie Hall

And one of their stops will be in Dunfermline towards the end of the year.

Scotland’s best-known military band has launched a series of concerts, 'Heroes of the Screen' to raise funds for the nation’s best-known Armed Forces charity, and they'll be Visiting the Carnegie Hall in Dunfermline on Friday, December 1.

Renowned for their performances at Holyrood Palace and the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the talented musicians' repertoire this year will include well-loved music from film and TV, as well as a folk-inspired collaboration with musician Alan Brydon.

“The concerts promise to be unforgettable evenings, featuring famous TV tunes and movie favourites, as well as folk music guaranteed to get your feet tapping! They are always very popular, so we’d encourage music lovers to buy their tickets early.

“We’re very grateful to the Band for their continuing support. All funds raised will help us continue our vital work, supporting current and former servicemen and women and their families, which is needed more than ever during this cost-of-living crisis.”
