Andy makes a great point here - I wasn't quite a contemporary of Andy in the junior band in Whitburn ( I think I was either Baritone or euphonium in Whitburn Juniors at the time). But I Was part of the strong West Lothian Schools system being a Whitburn Academy pupil and part of the West Lothian Schools Brass band. There were so many of us who had opportunities to make music, play and march in gala days etc. Andy has gone on to be someone who I love listening to at the SSO. I didn't follow him in a musical career but have got back into it myself in the last 10 years with Clackmannanshire Band (on Eb bass funnily enough). Great interview Robert.
