Scarborough Fair
This haunting melody, popularised by Simon and Garfunkel is here given an imaginative treatment in a popular idiom. The kernel of the arrangement is based on a track from the early 70s ground-breaking album featuring sixteen trombones Bones Galore. Eric Crees has expanded and re-scored Pete Smith's original to make a sure fire brass band crowd-pleaser

The venue is the Loch Leven Community Campus, Kinross.
