We - Hands Up for Trad - want to raise £1000 to help enable our young people's residential music weekend to happen. We currently run a week long event in July (Tinto Summer School www.tintosummerschool.com) and are now at capacity. This money will help us pilot another event at the end of the school holidays (12-14th August) and keep the costs down for the young people to attend.
Tinto has now been running for 11 years and our 2011 event sold out in 1 minute! It's not just music that the young people come to Tinto for. We have an active social scene including barbecue's, fancy dress, ceilidhs, rounders, football and more. Good friends are made at Tinto and the young people form friendships that last.
If we reach our target everyone who has given us money will have a tune written after them. There's only one tune so it will be one of the longest titles ever and hopefully get into the Guinness Book of Records!
