RSNO say farewell and thanks

The RSNO have posted a farewell video on their blog, expressing their thanks to SMF for a great trip. The series of videos have been very enjoyable, so thanks back at you RSNO. I must commend the presenter for her correct pronunciation of Sanday!

SMF in the press and on the web #4

Couldn't resist linking to this story from the Independent - doubtless everyone's already heard elsewhere about PMD's plan to write a comic opera about MPs' expenses. It's also in the Times, Telegraph and Scotsman (the latter winning the prize for cheesiest headline).

Two new videos from RSNO: Absconding & Conducting, Camping with Katy. They also have a set of photos on Flickr.

Orkney Today has a column about the Festival Chorus.

Here's a complete list of the posts so far at the RSNO blog:

• Interview with Percussonist Colin Currie
• Interview with Baritone Peter Sidhom
• Are we ready?
• Heading North
• Logisitics
• Midsummer Sun
• Hitting Things

I'm sure the SMF volunteers will be really pleased to hear the orchestra talking about how much they're looking forward to coming to Orkney.

RSNO have a blog dedicated to their SMF trip

You can see the first post here. Hopefully there will be more to come. They're also on Twitter.
