As Showcase Scotland 2010 gets under way, tonight’s five-act bill is headlined by the thrilling Scottish piper Fred Morrison, whose new solo album Outlands forges new common ground between Scottish, Irish and bluegrass music.
Veteran vocal/instrumental globe-trotters Old Blind Dogs will appear in a specially extended line-up including guests Duncan Lyall, Nathon Jones and Nigel Hitchcock, while all-female sextet The Shee, also blending tunes and songs, put a fresh and funky twist on Celtic and Appalachian material.
Acclaimed singer Alyth McCormack, a regular touring guest with The Chieftains, will showcase traditional and contemporary material from her alluring second album People Like Me.
The line up will be completed by Edinburgh born singer/guitarist Ewan McLennan whose material covers traditional ballads sung unaccompanied, to dance tunes or melancholic airs arranged for the guitar, and his own contemporary songwriting.
Please note that all patrons must be over the age of 14 and anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. In accordance with venue policy, random bag searches will be in operation.
