Brian said, "I have seen at first hand, through their care for my mother, the fantastic and dedicated work done by Alzheimer Scotland. I know I am not alone in having loved ones in need of such care. My parents always enjoyed Scottish traditional music and I have great pleasure in hosting this concert".

Moira Lawrance, Events Fundraising Manager at Alzheimer Scotland, said, “This promises to be a wonderful evening of Scottish music and we really appreciate all the time and efforts of those involved in this event.
