It has been announced that Jazz legend James Morrison will be returning to Scotland for the first time in 20 years, after the Co-operative Funeralcare Band secured the opportunity to perform in concert with 'The Wizard of Oz' in Perth later this year.
The event will feature the band alongside the remarkable multi-instrumentalist at Perth Concert Hall on Sunday November 20th.
Once in a generation
Band Chairman Chris Davies told 4BR: "This really is a once in a generation chance to hear one of the world's finest musicians in Scotland. It's hard to describe just what he does as a musician — but it's unbelievable.
To be able to play with him is a great coup for the band, and highlights our own determination to bring world class musical talent to Scotland to perform with us on a regular basis. This has already created such a buzz — so it's going to be a concert not to miss."
Top Gear
James' versatility is evident in the sheer diversity of his exploits — from the Olympic Games to Vienna's prestigious Musikverein — and even a stint presenting Top Gear Australia!

Special
The Co-operative Funeralcare Band will be conducted on the night by Allan Ramsay, who added: "James hasn't performed in Scotland for 20 years, so having the pleasure of his company will feel all the more special for the band and audience alike."
