And Finally...Sound of Music songs used to get youths out of club

By James Shepherd on Aug 29, 09 01:45 PM in News

Songs from The Sound of Music have been used to get youngsters to leave a youth club.

Activities at the Hilton Community Centre in Inverness are so popular, staff have problems getting them to leave at closing time.

Now a quick blast of "My Favourite Things" and "The Hills Are Alive" are being played to disperse them.

Starring Julie Andrews, the 1965 film was a huge hit and later became a sell-out stage production.

Highland councillor John Finnie explained: "There has been a lot of work which has gone into the facilities at Hilton Community Centre.

"They are so very much appreciated by the young folk that they are very keen to hang around and don't want to go home at 10pm.

"So this is a creative use of music - classical music, musicals and if things get really awkward I understand nursery rhymes will be deployed."
