Who will you see at The London Gathering?

We are delighted to have Hardeep Singh Kohli, Clare Grogan and Alastair Mackenzie hosting our main stages over the weekend. The main stage features musical entertainment ranging from classical artistes to folk/pop and rock, including some of Scotland’s best-loved artistes.

Hardeep Singh Kohli

So what can you say about Hardeep? He’s good at walking, eating and debating vociferously whilst employing sarcasm. He’s quite tall, fairly broad, loves comedy, food, fashion and football and seems to get on quite well with all sorts of people.

Hardeep Singh Kohli's teachers saw several traits in the teenager that have helped him become one of our most recognisable TV personalities.
His English teacher in Glasgow commented that young Hardeep was capable of "good work but is rather too chatty in class".

No surprise, then, that two decades later, the gobby student has become one of the most sought-after mouth-pieces on TV. Hardeep, the big brother of Still Game's Sanjeev, is the roving reporter on the BBC's One Show, with Adrian Chiles. He's also one of the faces of BBC's Newsnight Review.

Clare Grogan

Clare shot to fame in 80's band Altered Image whose hits included ‘Happy Birthday’ and ‘I could Be Happy’. After the band split, Grogan embarked on an acting career, although she was obliged to appear under the name of C.P. Grogan as there was already a Clare Grogan registered with the British actors union, Equity. She appeared in many highly popular shows including Eastenders, Red Dwarf and Father Ted.

Alastair Mackenzie

Prior to landing his role as Archie in Monarch Of The Glen handsome Scottish actor Alastair Mackenzie appeared in the controversial Channel 4 series Psychos and the independent movie California Sunshine. He has also proved his mettle as a script-writer, writing and producing the spine-chilling thriller The Last Great Wilderness.
