Tayside band’s big TV golf break

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

The Dundee group, fronted by Charlotte Brimmer, 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 cup, a team contest between groups representing Europe and the US.

The 2019 contest will take place at Gleneagles between September 13-15.

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, 20, said: “I’m 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 for the US fans and we look forward to representing Scotland and even making some new fans of our own.”

Paul Bush, director of events at VisitScotland, said: “We are delighted that Be Charlotte will be supporting Scotland – the home of golf – by performing at the closing ceremony for the 2017 Solheim Cup.”
