ABOUT THE TANNAHILL WEAVERS
Traditional Celtic music at its best! With fire-driven instrumentals and songs, haunting ballads and a good dose of humor, the Tannahill Weavers have transformed traditional Scottish material and brought it into the modern world, vitally alive and kicking.
Members of the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame, in 2021 the Tannies were joined by exciting piper and fiddle player Iain MacGillivray, who is also Scotland's youngest Clan leader. Iain, a fluent Gaelic speaker, has worked on such exciting productions as Outlander and Men in Kilts, and has performed for a huge list of stars and dignitaries in recent years.
From reflective ballads to footstomping reels and jigs, the variety and range of the material they perform is matched only by their enthusiasm and lively Celtic spirits.
