Musician Spotlight: Bruce Davies

Our Musician Spotlight for December is Bruce Davies, who joined Music in Hospitals & Care in 1997. His wide repertoire and use of reminiscence have made him a hit amongst older audiences across Scotland.
We are delighted that our trustee, Dr Alan Jacques, has been shortlisted for this year's Scottish Charity Awards in the 'Terrific Trustee' category. Votes are now open for the People's Choice Award.
Musician Spotlight: Davy McMartin
- 3rd August 2020
Davy joined Music in Hospitals & Care in 2001 as part of 'On The Wagon'. Eighteen years on, he has performed nearly 2,700 sessions and has now decided to take a very well deserved retirement. We are so grateful for all the joy that Davy has brought to people through his music over the years and we wish him a very happy retirement.
