Event Details
"Far Far From Ypres" WW1 music and songs from a Scottish perspective with Ian McCalman
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Strathclyde Suite
Please Note: This is a past event.
The original stories behind this concert date back nearly a century now, but a later starting-point came in 2007 when Greentrax Records boss Ian Green visited the World War I graveyards of Flanders. A year later, Greentrax released the double CD Far, Far From Ypres, a collection of soldiers’ songs, music-hall favourites and home-front anthems from 1914-18, alongside subsequent songwriters’ reflections on the conflict, curated and produced by Ian McCalman. A live selection of the material proved a powerful highlight of Greentrax’s 25th anniversary concert in October 2011, leading to this brand new full-length show, featuring an array of performers from the album including Ian Bruce, Ragged Glory, Soopna, Sangsters, Dick Gaughan, Barbara Dickson, Stephen Quigg, Tom Ward, Stevie Palmer, Siobhan Miller, Brian Miller, Dennis Wilson, Donald Hay (drums) and Sineag MacIntyre, singing An Eala Bhàn with narration by Iain Anderson.
