“Scotland’s arts world suffered another setback yesterday when Craig Armstrong, one of the country’s leading composers, resigned from the country’s flagship arts body just days after its membership was announced… In what will be regarded as a serious problem for James Boyle, the head of the commission, the composer resigned after discovering he was the only working artist on the board. He also condemned the Scottish Executive’s treatment of Scottish Opera, and called for artists to get together to save the company from the extensive job losses announced last week.”
