The uniqueness of the book is known by collectors, who now pay around \u00a3300 for a copy at auction. The book's importance was recognised by a special supplement in Scotland on Sunday, and its launch was a highlight of the 1992 Edinburgh International Festival. John Purser's talk will highlight some of the musical treasures of our nation that are revealed in his outstanding book.<p><small>Date: 20\/07\/05<br\/><\/small><small>Start Time: 6.15 pm<br\/><\/small><small>Venue: Armadale Castle, Somerled Rooms<br\/><\/small><small>Audience Numbers: 0<br\/><\/small><small>Type: Talks and Literature<br\/><\/small><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1217","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1217\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
