Frightened Rabbit to perform at charity event
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 3 September 2018
The remaining members of Frightened Rabbit are to play their first show since the death of frontman Scott Hutchison. The band will perform in Glasgow as part of the Sleep In The Park charity event, raising money to combat homelessness in Scotland.
Drummer and brother of Scott, Grant Hutchison, told the BBC: “We had agreed to play Sleep In The Park before Scott passed and we felt that since it was something for such a great cause that we should stick to our decision and honour Scott in the best way we know – to play the songs he wrote and continue spreading his message of kindness whilst supporting Social Bite and the amazing work they do”.
Scott Hutchison’s body was found near the Forth Road Bridge in May this year, shortly after his family had reported him missing.
Organised by Unique Events and the aforementioned Social Bite, Sleep In The Park will see around 12,000 people sleep in parks in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh on 8 Dec. Amy Macdonald and KT Tunstall are set to perform in each city on the night, with other acts also lined up to perform. More information on the event here.
