  • The musical spectacular for Homes for Heroes takes place on Friday 31st July
A summer 'Musical Spectacular' to raise funds for wounded armed forces personnel is coming to Culross this summer, when military bands from across the services will perform on the village green on Friday 31st July 2009.

The event is being organised by a committee from Culross Festival, with additional support from Fife Council, Culross Community Council, Culross Development Trust, ESS (Compass Group) Worldwide Support Services, Nixon's Portaloos Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Army, RAF and the residents of Culross.

The H4H event can be viewed on the Culross Festival website.

Tickets, costing £10 each, are now on sale direct from the 'Box Office' Rothes Hall on 01592 611101, and from local outlets including Culross Post Office, Red Lion Inn, and Culross Pottery and Gallery. Covered seating will be available under Marquees- book early to make sure of your place at what promises to be one of Culross' biggest nights of the year, in aid of a fantastic cause.

There will be a barbecue by top Army Chefs and refreshments available from 5pm, and the show gets under way at 7.30pm. Amongst the performers on the night will be the Band of HM Royal Marines Scotland, and the Pipes and Drums of The Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland.

The primary aim of the H4 Heroes 'Musical Spectacular' in Culross is to raise funds for the Help for Heroes Charity - and with minimum administrative costs - in this case 'Every Penny Counts.'

The event will also confirm support for our Armed Forces and enhance the quality of life those Service Personnel wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as showcasing the Royal Burgh of Culross.

H4H is a non-political National Charity set up in 2007 to raise funds for Service Personnel (Navy, Army and Air Force) wounded in recent conflicts in Afghanistan & Iraq. It is mainly staffed by volunteers with minimum administration costs - for more details, visit the H4H website here.

The charity is working towards building a new army convalescent home in Edinburgh to house 12 soldiers while they launch back to their normal lives after sustaining injuries. If successful, this is planned to be the first of up to seven new homes around the country.

Since its launch in October 2007 H4H has already raised over £20million in 19 months, with over £13 million already paid out.

George Connelly says

I am most grateful to all concerned for their enthusiastic support towards this fantastic (Help for Heroes) Charity and I have being simply overwhelmed with offers of support. May I advise please, that the best way to support the H4H charity is to buy tickets as early as posible to reduce our administrative costs -tickets will be limited - and to plan to eat at the 1st class BBQ that will be provided by Army Chefs commencing 5pm. Many thanks. George Connelly MBE
