We have news of a new CD!
The Friends of Wighton” limited edition CD is now available! Only 100 copies, each numbered and signed, have been made and there will be no reissues.

Created to raise funds for conservation work on the eclectic music book collection of the late Sir Jimmy Shand, the CD reflects the maestro’s wide musical interests.
