Grand Evening Concert
6th February 1880

A grand evening concert of Scotch Music and Burns' songs was given in Dundee's Kinnaird Hall on 6th February 1880 to raise money for the Tay Bridge Disaster Fund. On 28th December the previous year, a storm had destroyed part of the bridge, causing the loss of a passenger train.

The reverse lists all the performers, while the programme is given in detail inside. The opening "Dryburgh Quadrilles" was arranged specially for the event by the conductor, William Wallace. On the day of the concert, another body was recovered from the river.
