Be Charlotte

An up-and-coming star visited primary schools in Oban yesterday to share her love of music.

In a surprise visit to the west coast, 22 year-old Scots musician Be Charlotte announced from the town’s iconic McCaig’s Tower that she will play Oban Live music festival in two weeks.

The Dundee star, who signed to major record label Sony Music last year, is the last act to be added to an impressive line-up at Argyll’s biggest outdoor live music festival.

She joins Skerryvore, Red Hot Chilli Pipers, Lucy Spraggan, We Banjo 3, Elephant Sessions and more at the popular west coast event on June 7 and 8.

Since starting to find her voice as a teenager with an acoustic guitar, Charlotte Brimner, performing as Be Charlotte, has been focused on finding inner strength and inspiring others to do the same, a message that was passed over to a number of Oban’s primary school pupils today.

Excited pupils were treated to a surprise visit from the Scots star who performed an acoustic set and talked about her inspiring musical journey.

Youngsters were encouraged by Charlotte to believe in themselves, to pick up and learn an instrument and to get involved in music.

The event takes place at Mossfield Stadium, Oban. Tickets are available at www.obanlive.com.
