14-year-old busker to perform at Blackpool Music Festival
Festival organiser Jon Bamborough spotted 14-year-old Beth Swan, a pupil at Rothesay Academy on Bute, as she played in a shopping centre.
Beth has been raising money by busking in Glasgow for the Moira Anderson Foundation - a support charity for children and adults who have been abused- and Calum’s Cabin- which runs two holiday homes on Bute for seriously ill children and their families.

Beth will be singing at the Blackpool Music Festival at HMV, Bank Hey Street at 3.30pm on Friday, October 2, and at 8pm in the Waterloo Hotel, Waterloo Road, Blackpool.
She will also be selling copies of her charity CD.
