This month sees the return of the aptly-named Brodick Quartet. These talented musicians were hugely popular with the local audience when they gave a concert in Brodick last year. Now they are back again and will play Brodick Hall at 7.30pm on Saturday February 17.
The line-up is the same, with Ben Norris and Katrina Lee on violin, Liam Brolly on viola and Alice Allen on cello. Three of them come from different parts of Scotland and one from Yorkshire, but, as we learned last year, they chose the name Brodick Quartet because of their love of the island, all of them having spent time here on trips from family holidays to hillwalking and geology expeditions. They await their return as eagerly as their audience will wait to hear them.
Young though they are, they have all studied at distinguished colleges, including the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and Royal College of Music in London.
