TOP Glasgow band Shardlake will headline at the first Rock for Autism Scotland concert.

The event is being held on January 23 in the city's iconic Hard Rock Café, Buchanan Street.

The charity fundraiser will showcase classic rock music, with all proceeds going to the National Autism Society Scotland's family programme.

The lifeline service, which is based in Ayrshire but covers the whole of Scotland, urgently needs funding to continue giving vital help, support and advice to thousands of families who struggle to cope with the demands of their autistic children, young people and other family members.

Shardlake manager John Hatfield said: "Autism affects more than 50,000 Scots as well as their extended families. Buying a ticket will help the wonderful people at the NAS to keep delivering this essential service. You'll also have a fantastic time helping a great cause."
