Revival of show to mark 155th birthday of Harry
To mark the 155th birthday of legendary Scottish entertainer Sir Harry Lauder, tenor and broadcaster, Jamie MacDougall is reviving the much-loved Scottish Opera show Lauder for four performances this summer, in London, Derbyshire and Edinburgh. Jamie takes the one-man show to Hoxton Hall on 22 June, Buxton International Festival on 17 July, and the Town Hall in Portobello (where Sir Harry was born) on 4 and 5 August.
Ticket sales from the London and Edinburgh performances will go to the charity Erskine Veterans Charity, for which Jamie is an ambassador. Sir Harry, who was an international music star and at one point the highest-paid performer in the world, was greatly affected by his son John’s death at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. He raised huge sums of money for injured serviceman, donating his music royalties to veterans supported by Erskine Veterans Charity.
Jamie MacDougall is well-known to Langholm audiences for his performances during the Langholm and Eskdale Music & Arts Festival with Scottish Tenor Trio, ‘Caledon’ and also as guest tenor with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra
