What guilty secrets could this crazed mustachio-twiddler be hiding? What could he possibly be plotting? Why does he appear to be doing a Usain Bolt impression?
All shall be revealed if you join us at Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline for this spine-tingling, belly-aching run of Gilbert & Sullivan’s Ruddigore: on stage from 22–25 February, at 7.30pm every night, plus a 2.30pm matinee on Saturday.
Tickets available from our ticket hot-line (07703 483083), from the Carnegie Hall Box Office (01383 602302) or book on-line at this link.
Kingsgate promotion
Thanks to our stalwarts Geoff and Ian who promoted the Society at the Kingsgate Shopping Centre last Saturday. We hope that their efforts will be rewarded by both new members next year and a bigger audience for Ruddigore.
Thanks also to Jack for adding colour to the proceedings – no ghostly pallor! – and to Alison and Pat for their encouragement.
What’s going on?
Join us at Carnegie Hall in Dunfermline to find out, as the Dunfermline G&S Society present Ruddigore! Come and see us from 22–25 February, at 7.30pm every night, plus a 2.30pm matinee on Saturday.
Tickets available from our ticket hot-line (07703 483083), from the Carnegie Hall Box Office (01383 602302) or book on-line at this link.
Forty Favourites
The programme is varied. There’s a great soloist (Gregor Blamey) for Gershwin’s “Rapsody in Blue”. We’re also doing “Overture from Candide” and “Divertimento” by Bernstein, a suite of English Dances by Malcolm Arnold, Peter Maxwell Davis’s “Orkney Wedding with Sunrise”, the foot-tapping “Pops Hoe-down” by Hayman and a piece based on Scottish melodies called “Fanfare and Fugato”, written for the conductor, Graeme Wilson, by the KOS oboist, John Gourlay. Pupils from Dunfermline High School will also be performing. More details if you click the image.
DGASS members who were able to go to last year’s concert enjoyed the experience, so Ellen looks forward to seeing you on 17 March. There should be plenty of tickets available at the door, but they’re also available in advance from Fire Station Creative in Carnegie Drive (Wed–Sat, 10.00am–4.00pm; Fri/Sat, 5.00pm–11.00pm).
The compleat Ruddigore!
Rae has produced a full set of chorus notes, which are linked below for those who find it easier to access the website rather than emails. If anyone would like anything else documented, please let Rae know as soon as possible and she’ll see what she can do.

You’ll enjoy it too!
It’s 2017, and the first rehearsal after the break sees our company setting out to enjoy themselves and delight you, our audience. You’ll be amazed at what these Victorian bridesmaids get up to when Rae leads them from the front!
All will be revealed in February, and all you have to do is buy a ticket or three for the show. The order form will give you details and prices, and you can order tickets from any member, from our ticket hot-line (07703 483083), or from the Carnegie Hall Box Office (01383 602302).
We wish you a Merry Christmas!
Saturday 17 December … just eight days to go … and the Society were singing carols again at Tesco’s Duloch store in aid of Whitefield Day Hospital. Anne was pleased to report that “we raised £505 from our efforts yesterday. Thank you to everyone who came along, it was great fun as always, and thankfully not too cold. A special thanks too to Willie, we couldn’t sing like that without his brilliant accompaniment.”
We wish all our supporters and friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. But remember that it’s just 67 sleeps until we invite you all to Rederring and Ruddigore Castle, so why not put a ticket or three for Ruddigore in your wish list for Santa!
