| Carpe Diem Productions was formed to perform the works of Scottish composer Peter D Robinson - MTM Musical Theatre Awards nominee for Best Composer - "Sailing to Tomorrow" 2007. Carpe Diem brings together singers and players from all over central Scotland, from all backgrounds and from all walks of life.

| Carmina Gadelica one of the hidden gems of the Fringe The Scotsman |
| Blood on the Stones 2001 Four Stars **** ...some beautiful duets showcasing [Jane Young's] clarity and range. ...strong solo performances. ...the full cast also stood out. ...the Gaelic Caidil Thu was beautiful. ...another feather in the cap of MD Peter Robinson... Kaye McAlpine Edinburgh Evening News |

| Carpe Diem in a nut-shell: Peter writes the music and directs vocal rehearsals; Dorothy plays piano for rehearsals; David ensures we have a rehearsal space when we need it and helps co-ordinate publicity, making sure that we have tea and bickies at rehearsals; Jan keeps track of the money; Iain directs the company on stage and helps co-ordinate publicity. For the Fringe, it's all hands on deck. |
