Bill MacMillan
1946-2012
Sadly, Billy MacMillan passed away on Monday, 23rd January, after a long and brave fight against one of many illnesses he endured over several years.   A long-time member of the Club, Billy had been unable to attend in recent months due to illness, but for many years he never missed a Saturday night, firstly along with his late wife, Hilda, then latterly along with friends.  Country music was just one of his favourite music genres, among which he numbered Scottish folksong, classical and operatic compositions and pipeband airs.  Billy will be sorely missed by his many friends, and our sympathies are extended to his sons, William and Scott and their families.  Funeral cortege will leave from O'Brien's at Queen's Cross, Maryhill to arrive at Cadder (Maryhill/Lambhill) Crematorium at 2.15pm on Monday 30th January.

Wembley 2012
Sunday 26th February 2012
Remember the great Wembley CM festivals in the 70s, 80s & 90s ?  There is to be an all-day festival held next year with Reba McEntire, Ricky Skaggs, Lonestar and many others appearing,  to see if there is sufficient interest to bring back the 3-day event in future.  Will Bannister, an excellent up -and-coming new singer will also be there - well worth seeing.  See www.stanlaundon.com for further details.

Lady Antebellum
Coming to Glasgow in the New Year
According to an article in a Sunday newspaper, Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum was thrilled to hear that Glasgow has its very own Grand Ole Opry and plans to visit us after their gig.  One for us to look forward to - let's hope we can persuade the band to grace our stage for at least one number!
