Lodged by Sharon Dowey Standard Motion 30 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Ayrshire Fiddle Orchestra on what it considers its impressive 40th Anniversary concert at Ayr Town Hall on 15 December 2022; understands that the current orchestra of around 80 nine- to 18-year-olds were joined by many former members to perform a variety of traditional Scottish music to a packed Ayr Town Hall; applauds the efforts of president Wallace Galbraith, directors Euan Terras, Kathleen Terras and Ellen Martin, and musical directors David T Moore and Neil Eggo, for all their hard work and efforts in making this event a success for all involved; considers that the orchestra helps young people develop music skills in a fun orchestral setting, and allows them to travel around the world on international tours; believes that the orchestra is heading off on its first post-COVID-19 international tour to the southern states of the USA in July 2023, and wishes all involved the very best for this tour and the future.
