An evening of music and memories for Hedley Wright

Members of the community are invited to an evening of music and memories in celebration of the life of Hedley Gordon Wright.

Mr Wright, who died aged 92 on August 5 after a short illness, was chairman of the board of J&A Mitchell and Co Ltd, which owns Campbeltown’s Springbank and Glengyle Distilleries, as well as independent bottler William Cadenhead Ltd and Cadenhead Retail Ltd.

His memorial service will be held in Campbeltown Town Hall on Saturday November 11, from 6pm until late, and will feature Campbeltown musicians playing throughout the evening.

Ranald Watson, sales director at J&A Mitchell and Co Ltd, said: “We thought a concert would be a fitting tribute due to Mr Wright’s passion for music and his long-standing support of its development through young people in Campbeltown.”
