There is however one undeniable truth: his incredible and instantly recognisable voice that has sold millions of albums worldwide. George recently returned to the live concert stage after a 10 year absence. He wowed audiences and critics with a show packed with his best known and widely loved hits from Culture Club, his solo career, great covers and new writing including Karma Kameleon, Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?

| Hunting for the unique Christmas gift can be time consuming and take several shopping trips. Instead, why not stay warm and dry this winter and Christmas shop on a grand scale – (70,000 sq ft to be exact) at Scottish Antique and Arts Centre's special pre-Christmas shopping weekend. The full Christmas gift range has just gone on sale at both centres but for shoppers visiting during the special festive weekend they will be treated to complimentary mulled wine and mince pies to savour whilst perusing the spacious showrooms. It's easy to while away a few hours looking at the objects d' art, antiques and curios, reminiscing, finding treasures and contemporary collectables for the home or as a gift for a loved one. And as a special token of seasonal cheer, customers purchasing all contemporary goods will receive a 10% discount off their purchases and antique goods costing over £21 will also attract a 10% discount too. Additionally to add to the festive mood the Abernyte School Choir will be singing on both Friday and Saturday between 2-3 pm. And on the Sunday ‘Banned from Abernyte' a local Scottish music group will be playing between 2–4pm. In between browsing, visitors can also take tea or lunch at the Café Circa restaurant which serves a selection of daily changing specials using locally sourced Scottish produce or visit the extensive Ruryk Fare food hall items for the Christmas larder. |

| Hogmanay at Perth Concert Hall |
31 December 2008 |
| Perth Concert Hall |
Perth |
Doors 9.30pm; Show 10pm |
|
| Join us and some fantastic musicians to bring in 2009 with a bang - literally! This year's show stars one of our very favourite bands, the turbo-charged fiddle-driven thing that is Session A9. Combining a four-fiddle attack with a relentless rhythm section they produce an irresistible sound, unrivalled on the traditional scene. Support this year comes from Orkestra del Sol. Inspired by the great brass band traditions of Eastern Europe, Orkestra del Sol's music exudes energy and spirit: the swagger of a Balkan wedding band, the vibrancy of a Caribbean festival and the flair of a Latin ballroom. Globally inspired, but distilled in Scotland. |
