Superstars of the Gaelic world such as Cathy “Bhan” Macdonald, Rhoda Macdonald, Kenna Campbell Tilly McLure, Mina Smith, Patsi Mackenzie, Jo Macdonald and Anne Lorne Gillies have already contributed several beautiful articles of clothing which were featured in the publicity brochure, which is available from the organizers.
The shows in Lewis raised a staggering £12,000 for Crossroads Care, and the Glasgow show will be raising money for the Beatson Oncology Centre Fund which provides care to those in need at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre.
The show will be taking place at Glasgow University Union on December 10th. Anyone wishing to provide clothing, assist on the evening or purchase tickets should contact An Leanag on 0141 339 2022.
