The Singing Kettle’s Artie Trezise and Cilla Fisher have donated one of their famous kettles to Kirkcaldy’s Victoria Hospital – as they prepare to put the lid on one of Scotland’s most successful children’s entertainment acts.
After a sell-out exhibition at Rothes Halls last year celebrated 30 years in the business, a planned exhibition at Kirkcaldy Galleries this summer will be the final Singing Kettle outing.
On top of gifting a kettle to the hospital, all remaining kettles will be sold or auctioned at The Singing Kettle exhibition which will run at Kirkcaldy Galleries from June 20 to August 14.
Proceeds will be share between Rachel House Hospice and Fife Youth Arts.
The exhibition will offer a host of kettle-related activities along with interactive displays using props from the show from the past 30 years.
“Cilla and I had a brilliant career bringing our joy of singing to millions of children over some 32 years,” said Artie.
“We enjoyed the challenge of putting together this exhibition and are excited that Kirkcaldy Galleries would like to mount it again.”
Lana Clacher, paediatric nurse manager at the Victoria Hospital, said: “We are thrilled that Artie and Cilla chose to donate their famous Singing Kettle to our Children’s Unit.
“The Singing Kettle is an institution in Fife and their much-loved travelling shows are fondly remembered by people who associate them with growing up.”
The pair even entertained patients and staff with a song or two.
