Shotts St Patrick’s Brass Band was amongst the winners when it competed at Dunfermline’s Carnegie Hall at the weekend.
The North Lanarkshire band was named best in its section at the Fife Brass Band Festival.
The band, founded in 1878, has 33 members and competes in Scotland’s Third Section. It narrowly missed out on promotion earlier this year. And while there was no promotion or relegation involved this time around, the band members were delighted to be named best in section. Shotts musician Andrew Shaw also finished ninth in the individual competition.
