From the President of the Biggar Music Club
The Biggar Music Club was founded in 1960 and every year since then has been bringing to this corner of Scotland a season of concerts of classical and contemporary music performed by musicians of national and international acclaim.
We have always encouraged young artists and we have an excellent reputation with our audiences and amongst the promoters of music in Scotland for the very high standards of our concerts. Meeting the ever-rising cost becomes increasingly difficult and would never be possible without generous help from Chamber Music Scotland and our other sponsors and supporters.
This is why the Friends of Biggar Music Club Trust has been founded. It is a quite separate body from Biggar Music and is run by its own Board of Trustees. But its single purpose is to provide long-term financial support to Biggar Music. It does this by maintaining a fund, which is kept up by donations from our supporters.
You can become a Friend by contributing to the fund, simply by contacting This email address is being protected from spambots.

Whatever you choose to give will be added to the fund and will be carefully invested to produce, in due course, income for the Trust (which can only be used to fund Biggar Music). So your contribution, whether a single or an annual donation - or perhaps a bequest - will help to provide long-term support. You will thus be playing an important part in ensuring that Biggar Music may continue to enhance the cultural life of Biggar and the surrounding area.

The Trust - Its aims and objectives
The Friends of Biggar Music Club Trust was set up to create an endowment fund with a five-year target of £20,000. This target was achieved and has been maintained.
All the money which is donated will be treated as capital and is carefully invested to produce income in due course.
This income is used to support the Biggar Music and help it to meet the ever-rising cost of professional fees for the top-ranking artists and musicians who feature in Biggar Music concerts.
In the unlikely event of the Club facing a financial crisis, the capital fund may provide a safety net
