Here are the stage times for Butler, Blake & Grant at FRETS tomorrow (Sat 22nd) and Sunday 23rd at the Strathaven Hotel. Doors are at 7pm, there is usually a queue prior to doors opening (for seats near the front) so be mindful of that please.
7.30: Jo Mango
8.45: Butler, Blake & Grant.
The concert should finish by 10.30pm, however the group will be selling merch after the show. The hotel bar stays open until late.
Today is World Down’s Syndrome Day, and we will have stationary collection buckets at the FRETS ticket and merch desks to collect money for Down’s Syndrome Scotland. If you can afford to make a donation, it would be gratefully received. DSS is a charity close to FRETS, Katy works for the charity and most of you who have been at FRETS before will have met our daughter Matilda. I’ve attached a video above, A Different Game, which highlights how much joy Matilda has brought to our family.
Katy has recently published a book – Matilda in the Middle – which touches on Katy’s music life as singer of The Fizzbombs and The Secret Goldfish before moving on to the chaos of our family life, with Matilda as the middle child. Matilda in the Middle will be on sale at FRETS at the merch desk on Saturday and Sunday.
Here is a photo of Matilda in Waterstones (EK branch) with copies of her parents book (leading Matilda to describe herself as ‘the Authors’ Daughter’.
Thanks
Douglas and Katy.
