Tiny Changes. We will have a wee stall raising money for the charity set up by Scott Hutchison's family. This is a cause dedicated to improving the mental health of Scottish youngsters. Scott played RSD 2017 round the corner form the shop. "Come here when I'm not here" he said. Many of his old friends and collaborators will be on the stage or in the building.
It is a pleasure to be able to put our RSD event on year after year.
We have a wonderful music community and Adam, Dom, Asha and I are looking forward to welcoming you on the day.
