The Scottish American Society of Dunedin is very pleased to welcome back The Brayzen Heads to the Scottish Cultural Center in Dunedin. Featuring Dave Gilmore on guitar & vocals and Shane Farrell on fiddle, banjo & mandolin. The Brayzen Heads have been performing live since 2000. They have performed over 4000 shows throughout Europe and the USA. From the infamous Shamrock Bar, Spain, to Raglan Road, Orlando, playing to audiences seven nights a week.

We have been very fortunate to have been able to book this fantastic duo on several occasions, and they have never failed to delight and entertain our audience. The Brayzen Heads are now traveling around the USA and Canada, sharing their style of Irish Music along the way. We are delighted to welcome them back to Dunedin.

Dunedin Cares Girl Power June Drive

Posted on by

FEMININE CARE PRODUCT DRIVE

The number of families in the USA needing assistance from food pantries continues to increase every year. The lack of access to menstrual health products for people who are either homeless or low-income is appalling. These necessary products are not covered by SNAP or any other welfare program.  Each month, this leaves countless people without the products many of us take for granted.

During the month of June, please help to support Dunedin Cares’ “Girl Power” feminine care product drive by donating maxi pads, mini pads, panty liners and tampons. Or make a monetary donation to Dunedin Cares (cash, check or online) and identify your donation is in support of our “Girl Power” drive. With your help, we can help so many who cannot afford these necessary products.
