The sound of fighting will echo through Dundee Central Library on Saturday 17th February, as Tom Spiers tells the story of Scottish Soldiers over 600 years through Traditional Songs and Ballads.
Starting at 2pm, the Saturday Talk, hosted by the Friends of Wighton, will be an exciting and colourful look at how military adventures are celebrated and commemorated in music and verse.
The Wighton Centre holds an amazing collection of old Scottish music books, many dating from the 18th century. The Friends of Wighton were formed last year to help bring its treasures to the people of Angus, Fife and Dundee through a range of musical events.
