https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/caa40e7d-82f3-4a96-a0d5-2c31457b928b/Mold+DCist+ad+300x250.jpeg Blog - The Porch Swing Ramblings: 2 - The unfortunate thing was that one of my young travelling companions wasn’t well and our drummer and family had to miss the rehearsal to spend 11 hours at a children’s hospital! The fortuity of doing a show whose chorus was made up of health workers could not have been overestimated! These amazing and generously spirited people supported the young patient and family, making sure they were where they needed to be and had what they needed. Our wee patient was pretty poorly but recovered well over the next few days and the full company finally met as a whole just a few hours before opening night! The “Mould” family is just that though, a family. Everyone pulled together and supported each other and opening night was a radiant success! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/b84dde08-9717-418e-b743-0a31b0cf71a7/IMG_8444.jpeg Blog - The Porch Swing Ramblings: 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/dbe7e625-f56f-4a67-af72-7e2b1d0b6c6e/IMG_8464.jpeg Blog - The Porch Swing Ramblings: 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/4c9494ec-c1bd-4693-8f63-ec27f88180df/AF1D0F91-0839-4B8C-A5A0-7F630977B6FF.jpg Blog - The Porch Swing Ramblings: 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/a27fb106-16ed-4fcd-ab41-9798f7e24d27/IMG_8546.jpeg Blog - The Porch Swing Ramblings: 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/9246de27-256e-40f3-a45f-2f5a1d119633/IMG_8574.jpeg Blog - The Porch Swing Ramblings: 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bessybass.com/blog/the-porch-swing-ramblings monthly 0.5 2023-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/984df26d-bcb9-4a3c-b2a1-600473f845a1/IMG_8840.jpeg Blog - The Porch Swing Ramblings - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/dc7fffa6-37ff-442c-82b4-92c503cd2a8e/IMG_8287.jpeg Blog - The Porch Swing Ramblings - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/025bdb6a-6047-4dc9-a093-d4776a0b9f83/IMG_8285.jpeg Blog - The Porch Swing Ramblings - Bessy wasn’t officially participating in this tour… However she snuck on board and had some adventures of her own!!

Besides prizes for academic achievement, composition and performance, Lynda won the Franco-British Society’s Vlado Perlemuter Scholarship and a Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarship enabling further study with Menahem Pressler of the Beaux Arts Trio at Indiana University. Based in Glasgow, Lynda plays piano regularly as part of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and at times works with other British orchestras, including the Philharmonia and Northern Sinfonia. As a soloist with the RSNO, highlights include the Ryder Cup Gala concert and John Williams concerts. Alongside solo work for Scottish Ballet, Lynda has performed much 2-piano recital repertoire at the St Magnus Festival, enjoys chamber music with her colleagues and for many years was a core member of the contemporary music group, Paragon Ensemble. Lynda’s love of film music has seen her working with composers Craig Armstrong and Rachel Portman and she features as soloist with the RSNO on various film music albums for the Varese Sarabande label and most recently in piano and orchestra works for American composer, Kevin Kaska. Lynda was delighted to write and arrange music for May’s series of books, “Around the World with Bessy”. https://bessybass.com/grown-ups-make-it-happen daily 0.75 2025-02-13 https://bessybass.com/meet-the-author daily 0.75 2022-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1608128711373-VUFQY12U43534Q9HZEPJ/IMG_1080-2-892x1024-600x689.jpg Meet the Author - May Halyburton May Halyburton studied double bass at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. On graduating in 1994 with a BA (musical studies), a Certificate of Post Graduate Studies and the Eugene Cruft Prize for double bass, she took up the post of sub principal bass with Orquestra Simfonica de Balears, Palma de Mallorca. She returned to Scotland in 1998 and has freelanced with all the Scottish Orchestras, as well as the RLPO, Northern Sinfonia and BRB Sinfonia. She has a very eclectic taste in music and gained an Advanced Diploma in jazz at St Andrews University music centre, along with the Linda Trahan memorial prize for best performance. She has performed and recorded with various singer/songwriters and folk musicians. May also has an interest in baroque music and has played violone/baroque double bass with several ensembles including the Irish Baroque Orchestra, Dunedin Consort, Ludus Baroque and Newcastle Baroque. She is a very keen chamber musician and founded the cello/bass duo, Opus Duo, with cellist Jane Colvin and has played with a variety of groups including the Hebrides Ensemble, the Assembly Project, the Fitzwilliam Quartet and the London based Clod Ensemble. May is a Trustee of the Scottish Bass Trust and a member of the board of Edinburgh Youth Orchestra. She enjoys coaching youth orchestra double bass sections from school to national levels and organising double bass events for all ages and stages of players. She is also a highly sought after teacher and works with students of all ages, with a special interest in mini bass tuition. It is this interest which is the driving force behind “Around the World with Bessy.” When asked about how Bessy Bass came to be, May said, “Since day one, I have always called my bass, Bessy! The idea of using it as a character first came to me when my teacher set the assignment of creating a demonstration performance to introduce the double bass to children. I wrote a short narrative and accompanied it with music in order to show off the capabilities and versatility of the instrument. After trying this out at a junior branch of a local music club and encouraged by the reaction of my young audience, I decided to write and formalise a much more detailed story, and in 2005, I wrote the first draft of Around The World With Bessy – Part One – Europe, the first in a series of stories accompanied by music for children. However, due to my busy work schedule as a freelance double bassist and teacher and unsure of how to take the next step with Bessy, I carefully filed her away. Nine years later I found the inspiration and courage to revisit this story, and together with encouragement from several friends, I rescued her from the shelf, edited parts of the story and called pianist and composer Lynda Cochrane! This was the beginning of a very exciting journey that still has many miles to travel and adventures to be experienced! https://bessybass.com/my-stories0-5 daily 0.75 2020-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1607550601086-RSUNNQPQ97QZEU7PI1J7/E2B4DB1B-4A45-4E60-BFC3-ABAC8F019A92.jpeg My Stories 0-5 - Book 1 Around the World with Bessy Part 1 – Europe Picture book This is my first trip travelling all by myself.

I’m Dudley Drum! I am a big bass drum and a member of the percussion family. I can only sing a few low notes but have a very loud voice so my job is to keep the beat for everyone. I sing in orchestras and bands. I often join Bertie Bagpipes in his pipe band where I get to march and keep the pipers in time. I also like to play in a ceilidh band with Bessy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1607878033919-C1SEE4JVFRPREPAXGKSP/7DB0705D-375D-45A4-AECB-DCB30FFFA408.png My Friends 6-12 Hi! My name is Bertie Bagpipes! I am very privileged to say that I am Scotland’s national instrument.

I’m Fiona Fiddle! I am the smallest instrument in the string family and sing the highest notes. I like to read my notes in the treble clef. I look almost the same as my sister Violette Violin but I often don’t have a chin rest. I love to sing folk music and I play in a ceilidh band with Bessy and Dudley. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1607878034544-AHSFFIRLI5OCPLF9ZA8Q/F81415DD-BD8B-4DB5-B5BA-AA9A86036B2D.jpeg My Friends 6-12 Bonjour! Je suis le Principal Bass. I am just like Bessy but much older and bigger. I sing in orchestras and am the leader of my team of double basses. We can have any number of basses in an orchestra, ranging from 1 up to 8 and sometimes even 10! It all depends on what pieces we are performing. In my symphony orchestra, there are eight of us. I am very privileged to be the leader and occasionally get the chance to sing a solo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1607878034155-6BRNS5S64I5M5JNUPNXI/D3B8250D-7F2E-4940-A417-6B67B9F4DF3B.jpeg My Friends 6-12 Bonjour! Je m’appelle Henri! I am not a musical instrument, but a bright, yellow, shiny classic car. I belong to Violette, but I help Bessy travel from France to Spain to Italy and to Germany. I have a fold down roof so that Bessy can fit in comfortably. Although I am not a musical instrument, I have a horn that I can toot and I like to sing along too! I have a great time singing duets with Bessy on her travels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1607878034539-SRW4IMCRFGIR7HZA0OAV/82174EF7-50B3-437F-80F5-E987325CF476.jpeg My Friends 6-12 Hola! Yo soy Gustavo Guitar! I am the national instrument of Spain. I like to sing melodies and strum chords. I sing mainly classical and folk music from many countries. I am what’s called an acoustic instrument which means like most of the other instruments in this stories, we sing naturally. Some of my family though are electric which means they need to be plugged into amps which allows them to sing really loudly and change their sounds of their voices. They often sing in rock and pop bands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1607878034282-KW9C99P5N5Y14Y4BLKBJ/946C80B7-E79C-4243-B33D-772D77457294.jpeg My Friends 6-12 Hola! Me llamo Pilar y Me llamo Pepe. We are flamenco dancers. Flamenco is the national dance of Spain. It is very dramatic and we wear frills and shoes with cuban heels that make a lot of noise to make rhythms. We often use castanets to add to the rhythm. Gustavo often accompanies us when we dance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1607878035554-7FSOPXU6SFL1D5QUH51L/82F1C80C-00B1-49A8-8BAC-CD2BDF586CEA.jpeg My Friends 6-12 Ciao! Mi chiamo Prozio Bernardo. I am Bessy’s great uncle. I am just like Bessy but like Principal Bass, am much bigger than she is and I also have an extra string, so that I can sing even lower than she can! I spent most of my life singing in opera orchestras and also performed duets with Petra Piano in many of the famous concert halls throughout the world. Now that I have retired, I like to teach young double basses and help them follow their dreams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1607878035141-HAAPP8BQOM0NMTTJOLHS/EA2BA51F-AB4C-4D6F-A914-568740BBFCC7.jpeg My Friends 6-12 Guten Tag!

When that happens, I am made welcome in the percussion family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1607878035549-27SE3VFBUUUTDYF0HBKS/47525A62-2B95-4344-A4C9-3B2F49523275.jpeg My Friends 6-12 Guten Tag! Ich heisse Bruno Bass. I am a very elderly double bass and specialise in singing music from the 17th century. I look very much like Bessy but as well as being bigger, my strings are thicker as they are made from gut and the stick of my bow curves the opposite way from Bessy’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1607878035531-AHUK8ZQY08N4ZHPHIXUE/A1D207F1-695C-49A9-B8CD-E269A34A3376.jpeg My Friends 6-12 Hi there!

Bessy Bass, #thebasswithaface is the central character in the “Around the World with Bessy” series of story books with music for all children up to age 12.

She has appeared at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe several times, making new friends and gaining sell-out garlands!

Bessy Bass is the brainchild of her musician, May Halyburton. May named her first double bass (and subsequently most of the basses she has owned thereafter) “Bessy” as her double bass has always been her BFF! Bessy Bass, #thebasswithaface is the central character in the “Around the World with Bessy” series of story books with music for all children up to age 12. The young Scottish double bass loves to travel and has adventures with other musical instrument family and friends. Her stories also include the themes of inclusion, kindness and friendship and each one come with a CD or download of her music that integrates into the story. Bessy has taken her stories throughout the UK in the form of her interactive shows and workshops. Each book has its own show and spin off workshop and Bessy has been invited to perform from as far north as the Orkney Islands and as far south as Kent. She has appeared at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe several times, making new friends and gaining sell-out garlands! As music is a universal language and Bessy loves to travel, it wasn’t long before she made friends with audiences overseas. She has received fabulous letters and drawings from the wonderful pupils from a remote primary school in New Zealand, and in Melbourne, Australia some lovely school children dressed their instruments up as characters from the stories to celebrate “Book Week”! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1612952548802-XJLOJKIBHBHDYF1381JG/IMG_0967.jpeg Bessy & Benny School of Bass @Edinburgh Academy Junior School - …AND BENNY?

On graduating in 1994 with a BA (musical studies), a Certificate of Post Graduate Studies and the Eugene Cruft Prize for double bass, she took up the post of sub principal bass with Orquestra Simfonica de Balears, Palma de Mallorca. She returned to Scotland in 1998 and has freelanced with all the Scottish Orchestras, as well as the RLPO, Northern Sinfonia and BRB Sinfonia. She has a very eclectic taste in music and gained an Advanced Diploma in jazz at St Andrews University music centre, along with the Linda Trahan memorial prize for best performance. She has performed and recorded with various singer/songwriters and folk musicians. May also has an interest in baroque music and has played violone/baroque double bass with several ensembles including the Irish Baroque Orchestra, Dunedin Consort, Ludus Baroque and Newcastle Baroque. She is a very keen chamber musician and founded the cello/bass duo, Opus Duo, with cellist Jane Colvin and has played with a variety of groups including the Hebrides Ensemble, the Assembly Project, the Fitzwilliam Quartet and the London based Clod Ensemble. May is a Trustee of the Scottish Bass Trust and a member of the board of Edinburgh Youth Orchestra. She enjoys coaching youth orchestra double bass sections from school to national levels and organising double bass events for all ages and stages of players. She is also a highly sought after teacher and works with students of all ages, with a special interest in mini bass tuition. It is this interest which is the driving force behind “Around the World with Bessy.” When asked about how Bessy Bass came to be, May said, “Since day one, I have always called my bass, Bessy! The idea of using it as a character first came to me when my teacher set the assignment of creating a demonstration performance to introduce the double bass to children. I wrote a short narrative and accompanied it with music in order to show off the capabilities and versatility of the instrument. After trying this out at a junior branch of a local music club and encouraged by the reaction of my young audience, I decided to write and formalise a much more detailed story, and in 2005, I wrote the first draft of Around The World With Bessy – Part One – Europe, the first in a series of stories accompanied by music for children. However, due to my busy work schedule as a freelance double bassist and teacher and unsure of how to take the next step with Bessy, I carefully filed her away. Nine years later I found the inspiration and courage to revisit this story, and together with encouragement from several friends, I rescued her from the shelf, edited parts of the story and called pianist and composer Lynda Cochrane! This was the beginning of a very exciting journey that still has many miles to travel and adventures to be experienced! https://bessybass.com/bessy-academy-1 daily 0.75 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/6573e7b5-bdec-4e6a-911e-7ccdbaaa7f02/IMG_7237.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/a29ec4c3-61ba-4955-99b3-0d2135073d83/IMG_7240.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/18b263b6-f924-4f51-9892-2b6af9e88bc7/IMG_4107.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/831d5158-2f60-4ffd-aa24-a6e9e7a1205c/IMG_4110.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/cbd0cd45-dd2e-4695-a68f-e328e0c9fa05/IMG_4108.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/a3652b9b-5681-45ec-b557-9dbd79e2aadd/IMG_4109.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1e6679a2-5522-493a-8cf4-eebe21e339c6/IMG_7243.jpeg https://bessybass.com/gemmag daily 0.75 2024-08-26 https://bessybass.com/mayhalyburton daily 0.75 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/a9b577da-2a4c-4ef7-b76d-cb1d4f891570/IMG_4543.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/47543af4-be22-4e15-8b54-e3aeb7038d0b/IMG_3801.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/85b91ec7-b7f0-46d0-aee4-8fb2bb762484/0AC98772-08F3-47C9-A8C3-917927B17162.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/c94be5b8-12ff-4cf7-9e55-ac1fa39ec2a3/TGP07050.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/a9c558be-bba5-41ac-b579-bd8c1c37d5b8/IMG_8347.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/2db2050b-2b94-4828-ab17-bbe379d04727/IMG_6691.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/ec07b485-67c2-429b-890f-17fc4a187733/IMG_3230.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/2198ab07-c18c-4245-92a6-374a3ddbafdb/IMG_0242.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/b752ff03-5565-423b-879a-88d208b86961/IMG_7240.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/f0d70f26-d51a-40c4-854c-fcadf34f1482/IMG_2939.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/ee982405-c9a8-4669-acc2-9480d33e0fd7/IMG_2415.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/36edea01-9691-4c07-9261-8957d9ebfc0a/IMG_5067.jpeg https://bessybass.com/books daily 0.75 2025-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1708004214971-GBABNGO7AMT898ZXCWE9/B051B6B4-A4F2-4497-9017-64B14104DB3A.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1609590596138-8I6PM7LD1UXZV3DSZLX0/Bessy-Goes-Busking+cover+2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1708005131911-69PZK0HXHFOO6HVL7GOV/8C76374B-C777-44E3-9600-8FA1FBDD1172.jpeg https://bessybass.com/books-music daily 0.75 2026-03-26 https://bessybass.com/shop daily 0.75 2024-02-15 https://bessybass.com/shop/activity monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://bessybass.com/shop/arrangements monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://bessybass.com/shop/audio monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://bessybass.com/shop/books monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://bessybass.com/shop/download monthly 0.5 2025-12-24 https://bessybass.com/shop/gift monthly 0.5 2023-05-23 https://bessybass.com/shop/music monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://bessybass.com/shop/themed monthly 0.5 2022-02-28 https://bessybass.com/shop/p/bessy-turns-ten monthly 0.5 2025-12-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/4a8e9d38-7635-4e9b-bef2-7e990e5cca87/0.JPG Shop - Bessy Turns Ten! - 0.JPG https://bessybass.com/shop/p/happy-birthday-bessy-bass-bundle monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1684862844739-HM0D4EVUVKL1AHCLFEZL/Happy+birthday+bundle+cover+%28dragged%29.jpg Shop - Happy Birthday Bessy Bass Bundle! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1684862215461-4COV1QJL6QDQ0AGE6R94/Happy+birthday+bundle+cover+%28dragged%29.jpg Shop - Happy Birthday Bessy Bass Bundle! https://bessybass.com/shop/p/pancake-rollnrock-for-beginner-double-bass monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1646086413309-DKABM06600GQX21U5J6E/Screenshot+2022-02-28+at+22.12.23.png Shop - Pancake Roll'n'Rock for beginner double bass https://bessybass.com/shop/p/haggis-in-the-glen-treble-instruments-in-bb monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd765ad0b18530a38f968a/1642202063596-D7GTT9H78WGQL9KTLQRX/Haggis+cover+Bb+TREBLE+%28dragged%29.png Shop - Haggis in the Glen!
