Description

The Tannahill Weavers in concert

The Tannahill Weavers' diverse repertoire reflects the duality of Scotland's musical heritage. It embraces both the mystical quality of the Highlander's Celtic music, and the rollicking, sometimes even brawling qualities of the Lowlander's Anglo-Scots tunes. The Tannahill Weavers' arrangements blend the beauty of the traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms. The penetrating sound of the Highland bagpipes is a thread of ancient memory running through it all.

The band consists of:
Roy Guillane (founder member) on guitar, lead vocals.

Phil Smillie (founder member) on bodhran, flute, whistles, vocals.
Leslie Wilson on guitar, bouzouki, keyboards, vocals.
John Martin (ex. Ossian and Easy Club) on fiddle, cello, viola.
Colin Melville on highland bag pipes, Scottish small pipes, whistles.

Cost Tickets £12, £10 and £6 under 16
