Subject: Gaughan - Glasgow Refugee Concert
Some may be aware of a pilot project that was running in two locations in Glasgow (Cranhill: East End, and Knightswood: West) over the last few months. In these projects, Jim King and Ian Davison were working to establish regular session/music clubs intended to "celebrate culture through friendship and music".

The initiative has been supported by The Scottish Refugee Council, Glasgow City Council and Tapselteerie Music.

That's the background, here's the invite...

Come along to the collaborative event that will celebrate the success on the initiative...

In their respective projects, both Ian Davison and Jim King facilitated songwriting workshops in June during Refugee Week.

The resulting songs will be showcased on the night.
