<br><div>Friends and colleagues,</div><div><br></div><div>You will no doubt be aware of the tragic events that took place only a week ago at the Clutha Vaults bar in Glasgow. </div><div><br></div><div>The Clutha is a well known Glasgow landmark, and a busy music venue. On the night of the accident, a band was playing. The pub has a long history as a live music venue; as well as the organised gigs it is a popular “session” venue, with singers and musicians just turning up with instruments for a tune and a song with whoever else happens to be there. Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty were regular visitors back in their folk music days.</div><div><br></div><div>Throughout this tragedy, one of the overarching impressions has been of the spirit and resilience of the people of the city of Glasgow.</div><div><br></div><div>A number of fundraising events, many music-based, are being organised to support those affected by this tragedy, the emergency and rescue services and the wider community.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Celtic Music Radio, Glasgow’s community radio station focussing on traditional and contemporary Scottish/Irish/folk/roots music, and St Andrews In The Square, Glasgow’s centre for Scottish Music & Culture, are proud to present:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Folk for the Clutha</b></span></div><div><br></div><div>On Friday January 10th 2014, the folk community is coming together for a night of fabulous entertainment, to support those affected by the Clutha accident. We have been overwhelmed with offers of help from the entire community.</div><div><br></div><div>The programme is still being finalised, but already it includes:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Bill Adair</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Steven Clark</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Tom Fairnie</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Haggerdash</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Arthur Johnstone</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Adam McCulloch</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Lori McTear</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Rudegin</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Mick West</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font color="#333333"><span style="line-height: 16px;">….and many more</span></font></span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The event takes place at St </span><font color="#333333"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Andrews In The Square, Glasgow, only a couple of minutes walk from the Clutha, at 7.30pm.
