Advance News

The Commissioning Group has worked hard to choose a programme for our next production. Their deliberations are over and we now have the songs that we will sing. 

As a taster we can tell you that we will be all at sea with pirates whilst the Juniors will be chasing mermaids.   We will go around the world and then into outer space and back home via Leith.

We shall perform one of our old favourites "Garden Gnomes" written by the late Gordon Blackburn.  This is a tribute to Gordon who was Stirling Gang's first producer and who sadly passed away last year
