A single launched in support of Doddie Weir's charity is being re-released in the run-up to Christmas as a tribute to the late rugby star.
Doddie's Dream was first released in March 2021 in aid of the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, which funds research into motor neurone disease (MND). Recorded by musical act Blazin' Fiddles with the help of a host of stars including Nicola Benedetti and Scots music show Take The Floor host Gary Innes, it shot to number nine in the official singles chart last year.
But following Weir's death on November 26 at the age of 52, five years after he was first diagnosed with MND, the single has been relaunched. The second issue of Doddie's Dream comes with a new, more poignant recording serving as a second A-side to the upbeat Scots folk tune.
