On the afternoon of Sunday 23rd October, a group of classical young solo singers taught by Mrs Ann Munro from Lossiemouth put on a concert at Elgin Town Hall to raise funds for the Mission.
The performers were mostly young people from the Moray area, sharing their talent and their love of music with a small but appreciative audience. The Cruickshank family, who have been privileged to support the Mission for over a decade, had three generations of performers on stage - Georgia and Alice Cruickshank performed a selection of solo songs with Alice accompanying herself on guitar, dad Ian played accordion and accompanied local fiddle players and grandmother Maisie Oates, who celebrated her 75th birthday that day, finishing off with another solo performance.
Special thanks for their time and talents go to Ann Munro, Musical director, Rod Munro, sound engineer and his wife Rose, chief organiser and compere for the show.
The sum of £200 was raised for the Mission which will be used towards purchasing books and other educational materials for the poor children at the Primary School, Purulia, Helen and her family also funded several times for building the primary school.
Alice is playing guitar, Georgia is singing solo and Ian is playing the accordion with a group called "Fiddlers Galore", who consist of Raymond Wood, Georgie Duthie and George West, all from Moray.
