Saturday 16th January 2010, 7.30pm
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Main Auditorium
Revisiting well-kent favourites and neglected gems composed since 1910, this cross-genre celebration of Scottish song lines up an array of its finest contemporary exponents. With Session A9 as house band, musical directors Karine Polwart and Brian McAlpine have drawn up a set-list ranging from folk standards to pop classics, leftfield cult anthems to Gaelic ballads.
The numerous performers include McIntosh Ross (Lorraine McIntosh and Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue), B.A. Robertson, Emma Pollock, King Creosote, Kris Drever, Andy M. Stewart, Phil Cunningham, Siobhan Miller, Inge Thomson, Mattie Foulds (drums), Kevin McGuire (bass) and Maeve Mackinnon, plus more special guests to be announced.
Each number has been carefully matched with its performer/s, many of whom will thus be singing well outwith their customary comfort-zone, running the gamut from heart-wrenching to hilarious.
This concert will be recorded for future transmission by BBC Scotland as part of their Year of Song.
