Sandy Horsburgh
Biography taken from 2008 (The Gondoliers) programme: Sandy Horsburgh first appeared in a G & S opera at school as a Japanese school girl (The Mikado) and then as a contadina (The Gondoliers). With freshly broken voice he then sang Robin Oakapple (Ruddigore) before going to Aberdeen University where he sang, in quick succession, Samuel (The Piratesof Penzance), Mountarrarat (Iolanthe), Colonel Calverley (Patience) and the Bosun (H.M.S. Pinafore). After an inglorious stint as a second violin for Ruddigore, he retreated to the stage as Pooh Bah (The Mikado) and the Pirate King (The Pirates of Penzance). Too many G&Sless years passed until, under the good influence of his wife, he enlisted simultaneously in a rollicking band of pirates and the Penzance Constabulary for last year’s Edinburgh G&S Society production. When not being a Spanish Grand Inquisitor, resident in Venice, Sandy is a Church of Scotland minister, resident in Dalkeith, in which capacity he has never stolen a baby prince or tortured an elderly nursemaid.
