The TTO held their Charity Christmas concert at the Ironworks last night and it proved to be a great night with even more of the usual gaffs and laffs! 

And all in a great cause (two causes actually...) - we raised over £830 for Highland Young Carers and £440 for Munlochy Animal Aid. Many thanks to all who made it possible, to the audience for their courage in attending and to the staff of the Ironworks who were brilliant.

The Truly Terrible Orchestra is a group of 'lapsed' amateur musicians based around the Inverness/ Moray Firth area, who enjoyed playing music earlier in life (usually at school) and have decided to dust off their instruments and get playing again.  As the name suggests, our attitude to music-making is very relaxed and always about having a laugh! The Orchestra was founded in 2006 by Anni Cole-Hamilton and our musical director Jon Hall (pictured below) conducts the group with great skill, humour and endless patience... 

Sadly for the general public, the TTO performs several times a year! We hold an annual Charity Christmas concert every December and in August 2011 we were thrilled to be invited to play at the internationally-acclaimed Tartan Heart Festival at Belladrum, near Beauly! Our other accollades include being awarded the Laoureux Challenge Trophy at the Inverness Music Festival in 2010 - a truly terrible triumph!

The TTO rehearses on Tuesday evenings in Fairways Golf Club, Inverness (click here for details) and members are from Inverness, Moray, Nairn, Ross-shire and surrounding areas. We play a wide variety of music from Beethoven to “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” (which sometimes describes our playing...)

JUST HOW TERRIBLE ARE WE?! YOU BE THE JUDGE!
