The Tannahill Weavers
Advance Price: £18
The Tannahill Weavers are one of Scotland ‘s premier traditional bands. Their diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals and songs, and original ballads and lullabies. They have that unique combination of traditional melodies, driving rhythmic accompaniment, and rich vocals that make their performances unforgettable.
Over the years the Tannies have been international trailblazers for Scottish music, and their tight harmonies and powerful, inventive arrangements have won them fans from beyond the folk and Celtic music scenes. Members of the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame, the Tannahill Weavers have recently been joined by piper Iain MacGillivray, who has worked on such exciting productions as Outlander and Men in Kilts, and Alistair McCulloch, who teaches at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland when not on tour.
As they begin recording their 20th album, they are firmly established as one of the premier groups on the concert stage – from reflective ballads to foot-stomping reels and jigs, the variety and range of the material they perform is matched only by their enthusiasm and lively Celtic spirits.
“Formed from a Paisley pub session in 1968, seminal trailblazers the Tannahill Weavers now also rank as national treasures”
-Glasgow Celtic Connections
“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
