Scottish Co-op Band Secure A New Home

Following their return from a successful concert in Inverness last week-end, members of the Scottish Co-op Band were delighted to learn that, from 1st November, 2008, the band

would have a permanent base in Dalmarnock in the east end of the City of Glasgow. The bandroom is located in the Laird Business Complex off Dalmarnock Road and this move ensures that the band will remain in Glasgow, the city of its birth in 1918, for the foreseeable future.

It is many months since the band had to vacate its former band hall in Paisley Road, Glasgow and during that time it has led a somewhat nomadic existence in terms of rehearsal premises. However, it is hoped that this latest development will bring stability to the band's situation and enhance rehearsals in preparation for the Scottish Open Championships in Perth later in the month.
