Canadian Mario Lapointe, who saved the Sons over the summer after they were plunged into administration following years of behind-the-scenes uncertainty, will join local musician Richie Gallacher for a gig raising funds for Tullochan and the Sons of the Rock. Tullochan, based on Poplar Road, are a youth development charity who work with over 1000 young people each year between the ages of 5 and 25.

Mario, who performs under the stage name Vintage Lapointe and has had his work streamed more than 1m times online, said: “I’m passionate about music, sport and using these to support young people. And so when I met Richie, who shares those passions, we knew that we had to organise something.

“This will be a night of original music where Richie and I will talk about the stories and emotions behind each song.”

Richie, chief executive of Tullochan, added: “I’m delighted to dust off the guitar and take part in the event to raise money for Tullochan and the club. I’m so proud of what Tullochan delivers in the community and the positive change it brings to the lives of so many young people and our growing partnership with the club will bring even greater impact.

“Mario and I have spoken a lot about music over the past few months and I can’t wait to sit on stage with him and hear his songs and stories live.”
