Jul 08 - Highland Band of Scottish Regiment Entertain Casemates Square
Entertaining the masses in Casemates Square late last week, and once again this afternoon, the Highland Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland performed a set of jazzy tunes for the public. The band flew over to Gibraltar last week to perform at the ‘Big Up Diaz Tribute Charity Concert’ along with the Band of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment, in order to raise funds for local charity, ‘Pathway Through Pain’ and pay tribute to Philip Diaz.
Speaking to YGTV about their stay, bandmaster Major Kevin Lamb explained that they were asked by the Gibraltar Regiment band to perform, which had been a pleasure for Major Lamb in particular, as he had helped form the original Band of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment.
The 27 band members are set to fly back home on Friday. The band insisted that they had thoroughly enjoyed playing in Casemates and are also enjoying the hospitality of the Gibraltarians.
