We would like to thank all those who took part in our first Christmas concert, those who supported it and audience members who came along to watch the two showings.

We hope the concert will become a regular feature of Christmas in Dundee, inspired by the annual festive concert our sister newspaper the Evening Express has staged in Aberdeen for more than 50 years.

Local schools will benefit from proceeds of our tickets sales, which will go to our Pounds for Primaries initiative in which local schools collect tokens to share in a £10,000 prize pot.
