‘Caledonia’ singer Dougie MacLean is performing the second of his two concerts tonight for NHS workers to watch in their staff centres.

The performer was approached by NHS Lanarkshire who asked him for a live show for their staff to enjoy, and tonight at 8.15pm, ‘Best of Dougie’ will stream live on Twitter and Facebook.

The first concert was performed today at 1pm and can be viewed on Dougie MacLeans website or Facebook page.

A statement on the singer’s website explains: “The messages and comments we have been receiving from viewers of all ages from all over the world are so appreciated and make us realise the importance of both music and routine in our strange and frightening world. So come and join us live for 30 minutes….or you can watch it later if you prefer.”

The performances will also be available on YouTube.
