Ron Harris launches Biggar Little Festival
The gathering of around 100 guests heard Festival chairman John Rutherford state that there were many people to thank for this autumn feast of music, art, crafts and performance not only surviving but thriving into a second decade.
He had special warm words of praise for the sponsors of the events before handing over to the Gazette’s Ron Harris to declare the Festival open, a speech which left some of the better-educated members of the audience asking if there would be an English translation available after the ceremony.
