A DUNFERMLINE folk singer is to perform at the Carnegie Hall to raise money for two baby loss charities.

Andrew Gordon will take to the iconic venue's stage in October as part of Baby Loss Awareness Week, which is now in its 17th year.

Andrew and his partner, Melanie Grant, have had the misfortune of experiencing four miscarriages.

And for the past few years, Melanie has been instrumental in having ONFife light their building up in blue and pink to mark the Week, which aims to raise awareness about the key issues affecting those who have experienced pregnancy loss or baby death in the UK.

The folk singer will also be playing a gig in Perth for the same cause, and he's hoping both dates can raise around £1,500.

He told the Press: "Over the last few years, Melanie has been getting Carnegie Hall to light up pink and blue for Baby Loss Awareness Week which always runs from October 9 to 15.

"I normally do a big fundraiser every five years, so we decided that we would run a concert to coincide with the awareness week.

"Melanie and myself have been unfortunate to go through four miscarriages. It has been a very difficult time, and both charities have been a great help over the years.

"To thank them for their help, we have decided to do a fundraiser.

"There will actually be two fundraisers, a small one in Perth and the main event in Dunfermline.

"Our hope is to raise around £1,500 between the two concerts, and a raffle we shall also be running.

"We hope that the money raised can be put to good use by the charities to help other couples that could use some help."

Andrew will take to the Carnegie Hall stage on October 12, with doors opening at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £10 and £7 for concessions from the venue.

All profits from the concert will be split equally between Tommy's and The Miscarriage Association charities.
