"Bring It All Home" - Gerry Rafferty Remembered
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Main Auditorium
Please Note: This is a past event.
One year on from Gerry Rafferty’s much-mourned passing, his daughter Martha and his long-term friend, Rab Noakes curate a lavish commemorative gathering of the Paisley-born singer-songwriter’s friends, family, bandmates, collaborators and admirers, performing their pick of classics and lesser-known jewels from his 40-year career; from the Humblebums through Stealers Wheel, City to City and Baker Street to his later solo releases.
Artists include The Proclaimers (Rafferty having co-produced their 1987 breakthrough hit Letter from America); flying in specially from Toronto, Ron Sexsmith; Barbara Dickson (who sang backing vocals on City to City and Night Owl, later duetting with Rafferty on her Dylan album); fellow 70s hitmaker Maria Muldaur; ex-Cream singer and bassist – and fellow Scottish small-town-boy-made-big – Jack Bruce; one of Ireland’s most enduringly popular artists Paul Brady; American born singer-songwriter Betsy Cook; Burns Unit/ ex-Delgados songstress Emma Pollock; soulful Irish balladeer James Vincent McMorrow and English singer-songwriter, bassist and radio presenter Tom Robinson.
Three of Rafferty’s regular sidemen, guitarist Hugh Burns, multi-instrumentalist Graham Preskett and saxophonist Mel Collins, will feature with the evening’s house band, Glasgow’s own Roddy Hart and the Lonesome Fire.
