RACHEL WHITE & FRIENDS

Music night at The Green Kinross raises £1k for Charity

On Sunday 21 December, an audience at The Green Hotel enjoyed an uplifting charity evening of dance and song. Headlining the event for the 3rd consecutive year, was local artist Rachel White and Friends. All technical crew, performers and helpers volunteered, including community award winner Beth Gibson and her mum Angela, who organised the raffle and prizes. I was invited along to shoot some publicity photography and this was my 2nd CHAS music night event.

The night opened with a variety of youth dance routines provided by Becky Webb of Dance Connect, followed by songs and duets from guest singers Sarah Innes and Danielle Logan.
Rachel and her band — Austen Brunton on drums, Luke Mcdonald on keys and Luke Walker on guitar — delivered melodic, beautifully engaging ballads. Rachel also performed Greener, a reflection on the importance of following your own path in life rather than feeling pressured into the expected norms of getting married, settling down and raising a family.
Rachel has performed for CBBC and BBC Scotland, and her new single Man Overboard is due for release in January 2026.
It was a spectacular night all round, raising a total of £500 for CHAS and £500 for Scottish Action for Mental Health — well done everyone!

Big Country Plays Kinross Saturday 21st November

Next weekend I will be a volunteer Photographer for the Kinross Local Events Organisation, helping to shoot some music events that are part of the 2015 Kinross Winter Festival.

On Friday evening at the Campus venue the Kinross Got Talent Show opens and I’ll be pleased to take photos of the event as last year.

On Saturday 21st, I’ll be excited to photograph a band I would listen to while still at school in the 80’s – Big Country.

Photos will all be sent to KLEO first for publication in the newsletter and on Facebook.  More news to follow folks.
