Shetland Youth Orchestra. A trio of groups have come up trumps in Loot for Lerwick – the participatory budgeting event designed to support local projects. Shetland Youth Orchestra and Shetland Youth Music Festival clearly hit the right note on the day, securing £1,000 and £2,000 of funding respectively. The youth orchestra is raising funds for music, refreshments and a summer school, while the music festival is looking for funds to pay for the hire of Mareel during this year. The event was held yesterday [Saturday] at Islesburgh Community Centre in Lerwick.
