CHARITY CONCERT

Linlithgow RFC Male Voice Choir joined forces with the touring Australian Welsh Male Voice Choir and guest soprano Ayse Goknur Shanal last month in a fundraising concert for Alzheimer Scotland at St Michael’s Parish Church, Linlithgow.

The concert raised £3078 for the charity and Linlithgow RFC Choir chairman, Chris Thomas, commented “We enjoyed a wonderful evening of music and the Concert was extremely well supported by the people of Linlithgow. Raising such a meaningful amount for Alzheimer Scotland is the perfect ending to a very memorable event.”

Neil Kinsey, president of the Australian Welsh Male Voice Choir added:“Scotland was the choice for the start of our UK Tour and we couldn’t have asked for a better welcome, venue and concert than we enjoyed in Linlithgow. As well as many great memories of our visit, we are also delighted to have contributed towards such a wonderful outcome for Alzheimer Scotland.”

A delighted Sally Davidson, community fundraiser, commented: “The fantastic £3078 raised from the concert will stay in West Lothian supporting those with Alzheimer’s and their families, each one facing a different and very personal journey. It costs £15,000 a day to deliver our services in Scotland so every penny is much appreciated. Alzheimer Scotland makes sure nobody faces dementia alone.”
