Some of the biggest names in comedy, TV and radio have been announced as presenters for the very special Ryder Cup Gala Concert which will take place at The SSE Hydro on September 24. James Nesbitt, Edith Bowman, Fred MacAulay, Elaine C Smith and Des Clarke will take to the stage to introduce specially commissioned works from artists across Scotland. As momentum gathers for what will be one of the most talked about events of the year, organisers have also released artist impressions of how the stage will look for the concert, showcasing an orchestra bathed in light which will be accompanied by some specially commissioned films depicting the real people of Scotland and the country's beautiful landscapes. The Gala Concert will unite contemporary music talent including Chic legend Nile Rodgers, Texas, Jake Bugg, Twin Atlantic, Amy MacDonald, Nina Nesbitt, Eddi Reader, Midge Ure, and Danny Wilson on the same stage with Scotland's leading arts agencies - the Scottish Ballet, Scottish Opera, National Theatre of Scotland and RSNO, who will share a stage for the first time.
