In our own words: Haldane Trust's music

people recording at a keyboard
The Haldane Trust was featured in our summer newsletter and you can listen to some of the music mentioned below.
The Trust works in partnership with local schools and churches in Stirling, running programs for young people. Last year, it started a project where students wrote, recorded and produced their own songs. An album is available on cd from Josh Milton on 01786 480014. More information is available on the Trust's website at www.thehaldanetrust.org.uk.

These tracks are in mp4a format, and you will need RealPlayer or QuickTime on your computer to play them.
