CAMPS Showcase

CAMPS now stands for Cumnock Arts Makes People Smile, formerly known as Cumnock Area Musical Production Society! It has been operating in the Cumnock area for a number of years and has been a great focus for the young, and indeed the older people, interested in performing in the musical theatre traditions, and now a wider range of activities. It stages a number of shows annually including a much anticipated Christmas pantomime. it provides activities for the very young up to adult groups. In 2022 CAMPS provided one of the choirs for the moving performance of Gavin Bryars’s Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet at Dumfries House, conducted by James Macmillan. And last year two of their choral groups took part in the Big Saturday performances of A Musical Celebration of the Coalfields with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in the Barony Hall. At this short, relaxed but special morning concert we will see a showcase of their current work accompanied by a special band of musicians.
