The Singing Children of Africa in Scotland

June 30, 2008

We were delighted to host a party for the Singing Children of Africa to kick off their latest tour of Scotland. The youngsters were raising funds for their school and the new orphanage in Kenya but before they got down to the (relatively) serious business of entertaining Renfrewshire, they let their hair down in the restaurant and demonstrated some very sharp moves on our dance floor.

In many ways it was little different from one of our regular childrens’ parties. However, the chef was asked to prepare much milder food than you would expect to see on a Scottish menu. These children come from a very poor background where plain rice is considered a luxury, never mind anything as exotic as a bag of crisps.

There was a brief hiatus in proceedings when the choir moved outside to sing two of their songs for the television cameras and, later, the children extended their visit to the Watermill so they could watch themselves on the evening news. A great end to a memorable day.
