The hosts are a married couple, He is of Scottish descent and she is of Chinese descent. She is well known in the community and has worn a tartan at my Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner. Last year, I performed at this private fundraiser with my accordion… a few of the songs I do for Gung Haggis Fat Choy events such as Loch Lomand, When Asian Eyes Are Smiling… and The Haggis Rap.
