On Saturday 29th September 2007, the Trust presented a Concert in the Perth Concert Hall to raise funds for the Trust. The concert was an unqualified success with the capacity audience being treated to a galaxy of talent from the piping and traditional music scenes, gathered together in Gordon’s native Perthshire to celebrate his music, his influence and immense contribution to Scotland’s musical landscape.

The concert was arranged and stage-managed by Trustee Ross Ainslie and the musical director was Brian McAlpine of Session A9, both friends of Gordon. It was hosted jointly by Fiona Ritchie of Thistle And Shamrock fame and Gary West, presenter of BBC Radio Scotland’s Pipeline (and also Trustees).

The concert was described by many as “a hugely emotional and yet a very happy occasion”. During the finale there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!

Many of the artists were accompanied by The Concert Band, which consisted of Session A9 and other concert musicians, and not forgetting the percussion of ‘young’ Gordon Duncan Jr, Gordon’s son and a Trustee.
