Please Note: This is a past event.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the ‘new’ Lochaber High School, Lochaber Gold celebrates the alumni who have gone on to perform with bands such as Blazin’ Fiddles, Shooglenifty, Breabach, Salsa Celtica, Dàimh, Skipinnish, Mouth Music and Deaf Shepherd. The original version of this show, compèred again tonight by author and broadcaster Hugh Dan MacLennan, was a highlight of the 2011 Blas festival, extending those silver jubilee festivities into a broader showcase for Lochaber’s fabulous wealth of traditional talent, across several generations, interspersed with the odd tale out of school. With accordionist Gary Innes, of Mànran and Box Club fame, as musical director, the line-up includes James Mackintosh, Kaela Rowan, Malcolm Stitt, Angus Grant Jr, Iain MacFarlane, Ingrid Henderson, Allan Henderson, Ewen Henderson, Megan Henderson, Ross Martin, Annie Grace, James Bremner, Andrew Stevenson and Duncan Nicolson, plus special appearances by Aonghas Grant Sr and Fergie MacDonald plus ex-Celtic footballer John Hartson.
