Choir serenades recovering member

Wheelchair user Tony Brown, who has been housebound for several months as he convalesces, was delighted to be treated to a choral performance outside his Croft Street home.

“I had no idea that this was planned so it was a complete surprise and it really did cheer me up,” said Tony.

Tony is also a member of Galashiels Community Council – whose chairwoman Judith Cleghorn organised the surprise.

Judith told The Southern: “Tony was so delighted, but I do believe he’s going to kill me!

“It was so lovely and it was fantastic for the choir to do this for him.”
