The Tannahill Weavers

The one-time trailblazers in bringing Scottish music to the world, the Tannies, as they are affectionately called, are now firmly established as among the finest Scotland has ever had to offer on the concert stage. Their compelling combination of reflective ballads and foot-stomping jigs and reels, powerfully played on Highland pipes, Scottish small pipes, fiddle, flute, whistles, bouzouki, guitar and bodhran have been cheered by audiences around the world for over 30 years and their 17 albums popularly and critically acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic. Among myriad raves from the press are; from the Winnepeg Press, 'the Tannahill Weavers - properly harnessed - could probably power a city for a year on the strength of last night's concert alone. The music may be old time Celtic but the drive and enthusiasm is straight ahead rock and roll.' from Mojo Magazine, 'world class musicians with passion and a healthy sense of fun,' from the New York Times, 'an especially eloquent mixture of the old and the new,' from Sing Out!, 'as close to perfect as it gets in an imperfect world' and from Dirty Linen, 'A let's-have-a-great-time attitude.'
