ST PATRICK’S DAY PARTY WITH THE GRAND BOYS

The charity band and friends will be in concert at Stirling County Rugby Club at Bridgehaugh on March 14 at 7.30pm with great music, dancing and craic from traditional Irish folk and country to classic rock and ceilidh.

There will also be world-class Irish dancing from Kidd-Cieslak School of

Irish Dancing, a buffet and the usual Paddy’s Day fun.

The band, pictured above, will be raising money for a host of good causes on the night.

Grand Boys founder John Griffin said:“It will be a night with a bit of nostalgia, a right good hoolie and some great entertainment. Tickets are available now - but going fast.”

The Grand Boys were started by

John back in 1990 with the sole purpose of raising £1000 (hence the name - The Grand Boys) for PKU Research at then Royal Hospital For Sick Children atYorkhill.

John’s son Sean had been born with a rare genetic disorder which had it not been caught at birth would have given rise to potentially serious issues later in life.

Fortunately it was caught and Sean is now a healthy young man with a law degree and - a real talent for music himself.

Since then, however, The Grand Boys has raised almost half a million pounds for worthy causes and performed all over Scotland.
