l CREATIVE Places award-winner Huntly in Aberdeenshire, home of Deveron Arts, has a series of events under the banner Hallowe'en in Huntly.
In the company of Allysson Velez the town will be finding out about carnival rituals in Brazil and listening to his samba band. The Lantern Parade will be accompanied by a Ceilidhamba, combining two musical tradtions, and students from Edinburgh Colege of Art will be working with Simon Preston on Death Row Dinners, a fresh look at Last Suppers.

l THE Hebrides Ensemble is currently representing Scotland at a conference in Brussels which aims to establish a new body to promote new music to new audiences across Europe.
New:Aud, as the project has been abbreviated, brings together 31 contemporary music ensembles from 17 countries and will last for two years, sharing thinking on styles of presentation, interaction with concert-goers and the performance of new music for children and young people. The ensemble's artistic director William Conway joined colleagues from the London Sinfonietta and Manchester's Psappha Ensemble at the conference.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
