SHE has shared a stage with US folk legend Pete Seeger. But tonight, Glasgow-based singer/ songwriter/fiddler Laura McGhee joins forces with schoolchildren from Glasgow's East and West Ends to sing at Oran Mor.

In front of a celebrity audience including actor Robbie Coltrane, writer William McIlvanney and playwright Peter McDougall, Laura and P7 pupils from Dalmarnock and St Paul's Primaries will perform Laura's new single, One Scotland, a powerful anti-racism anthem.

Laura took part in workshops with the schools as part of Oran Mor's community outreach programme and recorded the children singing the chorus, which goes: "For this one Scotland, This bonnie, bonnie land, Let's stand together hand in hand, And may the world it see, We can live in harmony, Working together for this one Scotland."

One Scotland is both haunting and rousing and the kind of song you can't get out of your head once it's in it, will be released on Itunes on Monday in time for St Andrew's Day.
