Peter Holmes confirmed as Mactaggart Scott Loanhead MD

Mactaggart Scott Loanhead Band is delighted to confirm the permanent appointment of Peter Holmes as its new musical director. 

Under Peter’s direction, the band has already experienced success with a strong performance at the 2022 Borders Contest and a fun-packed Christmas period of engagements. 

The band has recently recruited a number of talented players and is now focused on performing well under his baton at Perth in the Scottish Championships in March. 

Peter, a talented trombone player, is looking forward to the new challenge. Building on the strong foundations and excellent facilities already in place, he will be encouraging youngsters to move up from the excellent youth set-up, led by Alan Fernie, and also welcoming any new or returning players to the band. 

Mactaggart Scott Loanhead is currently recruiting cornet players and percussionists and can be contacted by email at mctslband@gmail.com
