The motion

That the Parliament applauds Auchinleck music group, Strings N Things, which has made a generous donation to the National Mining Museum Scotland; understands that Strings N Things is an acoustic guitar and ukulele group and was asked to write songs for The Celebration of the Coalfields project as part of the Cumnock Tryst Music Festival, and that a local business was so impressed that it offered to provide funds to record the music in a studio; further understands that a lottery grant helped to pay for the brass ensemble and the production of CDs; notes that the five-track CD is dedicated to every UK miner who lost their life while working in the country’s collieries; further notes that the proceeds of this CD will be donated to the National Mining Museum Scotland, and wishes all involved every success for the future.
