A sad story...
It has been brought to my attention that unfortunately some people think that musicians and their instruments are robotic and can function wherever they are required....afraid not...
All our musicians use antique instruments some costing tens of thousands of pounds, being made of wood, varnished and glued together some more than 250 years ago simply cannot be played outside in sunlight...yes even SCOTTISH sunlight... as the varnish and the quality of sound produced could be irretrievably damaged...
Also there is the lovely Scottish rain to be considered....would you leave your i-pod out in the rain....no...so there is no way we would play our cherished instruments out in a downpour or even a light shower either.
A musician's livelihood depends on their instrument....if you want quality music you need quality instruments...we cannot destroy our instruments playing outside so please take note of this when thinking about where your guests will be on the day....common sense methinks...

Notice that the shots below on the grass at Harburn House, West Lothian, are outside but this was on a dull day, dry at the point the photos were taken but literally straight after the ceremony finished the quartet had to sprint for cover....at this point your events manager should send the guests to the same place so they can hear the lovely music!
