The Best of Scottish Folk Music – Tannahill Weavers in Concert
February 25, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$25.00
“The music may be pure old-time Celtic, but the drive and enthusiasm are akin to straight-ahead rock and roll.” – Winnipeg Free Press.
“An especially eloquent mixture of the old and the new.” – New York Times
Born of a session in Paisley, Scotland, and named for the town’s historic weaving industry and local poet laureate Robert Tannahill, the Tannahill Weavers have made an international name for their special brand of Celtic music, blending the beauty of traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms. As one of the world’s premier traditional Celtic bands, their diverse repertoire spans centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, original ballads and lullabies, and humorous tales of life in Scotland.
They have recently been joined by an exciting piper and fiddle player Iain MacGillivray, Scotland’s youngest Clan leader. Iain, a fluent Gaelic speaker, has worked on exciting productions like Outlander and Men in Kilts and has performed for a huge list of stars and dignitaries in recent years. As the band celebrates the nomination of their 18th recording, Òrach (“Golden” in Gaelic), as album of the year and themselves as a band of the year, they are firmly established as one of the premier groups on the concert stage.
