Towering talent Eddi is in town Renowned singer at concert hall tonight
A towering name in the Scottish music scene makes her return to Perth tonight.
Eddi Reader is perhaps Scotland’s greatest living female voice and she will thrill fans in Perth Concert Hall for her Friday night gig.
In 2020, she celebrated her 40th year on stage and now brings her - delayed - 40 Years Live tour to Perth.
From her earliest years playing the folk clubs of western Scotland and learning how to sing on streets all over Europe, Eddi’s path soon led her to a professional career as a backing singer for Eurythmics and Gang of Four.
Her band Fairground Attraction had huge international success and number one hits with Perfect and debut album First Of A Million Kisses which stormed the charts in the late 1980s.
Throughout her successful solo career, Eddi has released consistently great works, including highly acclaimed albums such as The Songs Of Robert Burns and last year’s Cavalier.
She has won Brit Awards, been awarded four honorary degrees, an MBE, sung to millions on some of the world’s greatest concert and festival stages and collaborated with a host of stars across a myriad of genres including folk, jazz, pop, world, punk and even classical work with various orchestras.
In 2019 Eddi was invited to be a special guest with Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra for an extensive tour, released her Starlight EP, played sold out headline shows and recorded a programme for BBC Radio’s Classic Scottish Album series about her Robert Burns recordings.
She also appeared on BBC Television’s Songs of Praise and as part of Billy Connolly’s Made In Scotland series.
The April 1 show starts at 7.30pm with a support act. All tickets cost £29.50 from www. horsecross.co.uk
