Many of the visitors and contributors to Mudcat will know, or know of, Kenny Caird. Kenny was for many years the driving force behind the New Dawn and Star clubs in Glasgow. Very recently he announced, with his customary candour, that he was fighting a losing war with cancer. In an effort to provide some tangible support for Ken's family, a group of his friends have been very busy over the past couple of weeks organising a Testimonial music event. It's no exaggeration to say that we have been overwhelmed both by offers of help, and the generosity with which people have responded. Plans are now sufficiently solid to announce the date, and the line-up. Here's the programme for the event. Saturday 28 July 2012 Saint Andrews In The Square Glasgow 2:00 pm Concert... Sheena Wellington Adam McCulloch Trio Ian Bruce Adam McNaughtan Alex Frackleton (on video) Christine Bovill Clova 7:30 Concert Dick Gaughan The Moonshiners Wendy Weatherby Arthur Johnstone and The Stars Band Gordeana McCulloch The Second Hand Marching Band Tickets £12.50 for each show. More information available on the website, but it's still under construction and will develop over the next few days... http://kennycairdtestimonial.webs.com
