The Tannahill Weavers in Concert

SCOTTISH AMERICAN SOCIETY OF DUNEDIN
Presents
The Tannahill Weavers
in Concert

FROM SCOTLAND

“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 unique 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 the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, original ballads and lullabies, and humorous tales of life in Scotland.

They have recently been joined by 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 many 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.
