In pictures: Fife Festival of music in full swing

Music makers from across the Kingdom are currently taking part in this year’s Fife Festival of Music.

Now in its 42nd year, the festival’s fortnight long programme of events runs until Friday, February 9.

Over the last few weeks, musicians have been coming together to play and celebrate music at sessions in Dunfermline’s Vine Conference Centre and the Adam Smith Theatre and St Bryce Kirk in Kirkcaldy.

The festival aims to encourage musicians of all ages in every branch of choral and instrumental activity to perform in public, by offering a programme of competitive and non-competitive sessions in a celebration of performing music.

There are sessions for solo, duet, ensemble, school and community classes, which members of the public are welcome to watch, for a small entry fee.

Photographer Walter Neilson stopped by the Kirkcaldy venues this week and captured these images from the secondary school group and string solo sessions.
