S4M-03521: Fife Youth Jazz Orchestra Success and Workshop

That the Parliament congratulates the Fife Youth Jazz Orchestra (FYJO) on receiving an Awards for All grant of £1,450 from Creative Scotland; understands that the orchestra, which is based in Cairneyhill in Dunfermline, will use the grant to attend the Islay Jazz Festival in September 2012 and deliver a jazz workshop for local children using recently qualified FYJO tutors; believes that young people should be encouraged to take part in such beneficial recreational activities, and wishes the FYJO an enjoyable and productive festival attendance and workshop on Islay.
