Be Charlotte bags global golf gig

Dundee music act Be Charlotte will perform at the handover ceremony of one of the biggest tournaments in women’s golf.

The group, fronted by Charlotte Brimmer, 20, will head to the USA to take part in the closing ceremony of the 2017 Solheim Cup.

Sunday’s performance will be broadcast across the world into more than 350 million homes.

The handover will introduce Scotland as the next host nation of The Solheim Cup, a team contest between groups representing Europe and USA.

The 2019 Solheim Cup will take place at Gleneagles between September 13 and September 15 2019.

Be Charlotte were selected to represent Scotland after being identified by industry experts as a future “one to watch” and an ideal fit to represent young people in Scotland.

Charlotte said: “Be Charlotte is excited to be making the trip out to Des Moines to represent Scotland at the 2017 Solheim Cup.

“I am a huge supporter of women’s sport and to be able to help celebrate strong and successful female role models is a huge honour.

“As proud Scots we will be ready to put on a great performance and even make some new fans of our own.”

Paul Bush, director of events at VisitScotland, said: “Be Charlotte is a young, original and inspiring act who will represent Scotland perfectly ahead of the staging of the 2019 Solheim Cup at Gleneagles.”
