Festival 2022

The one hundred and tenth Glasgow Music Festival ended on Saturday 19 March 2022 after nine wonderful days of performances in Music, Speech & Drama and Scottish Country Dancing.

It was great to return to holding a festival of live performances and to welcome supportive audiences to all sessions. The whole event was greatly enjoyed by everyone involved: performers, adjudicators, accompanists, audiences, stewards and administrators.

The team of adjudicators comprising Belinda Mikhaïl, Christina Thomson, Heather Yule, Brian Marjoribanks and Avril Smillie gave performers advice and encouragement. Performers were supported by the official accompanists: Chris Baxter, Hebba Benyaghla, Edward Cohen, Claire Haslin and Stewart Henderson. Accordionist, Màrtainn Skene, provided music for Scottish Country Dancing.
