SALUTE TO THE DUKE is the second programme for this new Big Band in the Highlands. After last year’s fantastic success in Nairn and Boat of Garten, the band will offer another great selection and variety of big band music. This time, they will put the spotlight on music from composer, band leader and pianist Duke Ellington, who died 50 years ago this year. Join us in Nairn on the evening of Friday 7 June at 7.30 pm, or come along during the afternoon in Strathpeffer on Sunday 9 June at 3 pm. The programme includes an interval.
