     extract of article from RutherglenRutherglen Reformer

CAMBUSLANG Parish Church benefited from the help of some good folk!
For Cambuslang folk music band PiggeryBrae played at the church’s to help raise money for church funds. And around £800 was raised, which delighted the church members.

PiggeryBrae laid on a good two hour show which was filled with songs, fun and laughter all of which was warmly received by the audience. 

The church resounded to the sounds of laughter and song along with the band’s instruments of guitars, fiddle, mandolin, bodhran, spoons, mouth organ, flute and whistles.

At the end of the evening the church’s associate minister Reverend Hilary McDougall gave a vote of thanks to PiggeryBrae and the committee who organised the event. She then invited everyone to a feast of home baking and refreshments in the church hall.

“Despite the horrendous wet windy night there was an excellent turnout at the concert.”
All proceeds from the concert went towards the Cambuslang Parish Church refurbishment fund.

Raising money for good causes is nothing new for PiggeryBrae. In recent years they have performed for a variety of charities and organisations, including Cambuslang and District Voluntary Care Club, Cambuslang and Rutherglen Carers, the Ciaran Pryce Appeal, Cambuslang and Rutherglen Reachout Trust, Children 1st’s Rutherglen and Cambuslang branch, The Haven, and played at numerous local churches.

They’ve also helped other organisations outwith the local area, including
St Vincent’s school for the deafblind, St Andrew’s Hospice in Airdrie, the Children’s Hospice Association Scotland, Clic Sargent, the Maggie’s Centre in Glasgow, Prostate Scotland, Water for Africa, and the RNLI.

                          Over 200 in attendance in what proved to be a very successful concert.
