Very sadly, we have to announce the death of founder member of Mr McFall's Chamber, Brian Schiele. He underwent a massive operation last year for cancer of the jaw and initially was presumed to be clear - but just over a month ago the cancer returned. Initially given two months to live, he was, in actual fact, dead within two weeks. He died at home, cared for by nurses from the Marie Curie hospice. He lived just long enough to get to know his grandson, Toby, who had been born at the beginning of December.
Here is a performance of Braw Braw Lads we played at the Traverse Theatre during Covid with Jamie MacDougall, in which Brian features in the instrumental verse:
