We are delighted that our Patron, Jamie MacDougall from BBC Scotland has recorded a message for us:
Due to the present Covid-19 crisis all freelance performers have lost virtually all performances and income. Their online work brings in no income. Any donations made will go directly to Tunnell Trust artists and their future work. Please help to get the industry and our artists back on stage.
The Trust has had to cancel two Tours for its young musicians in March 2020 and a further 3 Tours this winter/spring have had to be postponed. This is a total of 26 concerts by 5 groups. We have rescheduled one Tour by another group to November 2021. The Trust also had to cancel its Music Coll, Chamber Music course in the Inner Hebrides in 2020. We hope to reschedule those concerts and Music Coll will hopefully return in 2021 but those musicians have already lost out in every way including financially.
Your generosity has already helped to fund our nine Tuesday Teatime LIVE at 6 online concerts, for which all our musicians have been paid. During the second lockdown we want to offer a similar level of support to our artists.

This is our 30th Anniversary year. If all our supporters donate £30, together we can do so much more to help our young musicians: reimburse those expenses and provide more performance and learning opportunities.
We thank the Tunnell Trust for granting our music club the opportunity to stage such an enjoyable concert.
Who would ever have though that three such diverse instruments could produce such wonderful sounds and colours. Many thanks to the Tunnell Trust for arranging their visit.
Many thanks to the superb Quartet for giving us the most stylish, virtuosic and entertaining close we've ever had to a season! A big crowd all went away smiling! Thanks also to the Tunnell Trust for sponsoring this tour - you certainly know how to spot winners!
The environment is so conducive to positive and constructive working. To be given the opportunity to rehearse and receive coaching, interspersed with personal practise is utterly invaluable.
Overall a brilliant 10 days. It has really boosted our confidence as a group to go for more things. Invaluable to have the time to gel as a duo and get some repertoire under our belt for the future.
The course combines the opportunity to receive diverse feedback from experts in their fields and the opportunity to perform in front of an audience with the liberty of time and space to rehearse at ease, far from the distractions of the city. There was a lot to take away from the whole experience and we felt privileged to have been recipients of so much inspiration that week.
