Strattan Fundraiser Planned

Family, friends and fellow campaigners will gather on 12th March 2011 at the Park Golf Club, Park Road West, Southport to celebrate the life of George Strattan, veteran peace activist, folk singer and trade unionist who died in Southport in December 2009 aged 89. Tribute will also be paid to his late wife Viola, who worked tirelessly alongside George, particularly in the peace movement. The evening will be mostly musical, with spoken tributes from their son Richard, and representatives from Merseyside CND and his union AEUW-TASS.

The musical line-up is still being finalised, but acts confirmed so far include Merseyside band the Peacemakers and regulars from the Bothy and Maghull Folk Clubs.

The evening will raise funds for The Strattan Scholarship which has been set up in George and Viola's memory to provide a musical scholarship for musicians active in the trade union and peace movements.
