Festive date is set for Phil and friends
Following the huge success and popularity of Phil Cunningham’s Christmas Songbook over the last decade, the musician has announced that he will be visiting again this festive season.
The show calls in at the Albert Halls in Stirling on Friday, December 16.
The performance will be filled with jovial anecdotes, modern and traditional Christmas music and exquisite musicianship that will tug at the heartstrings.
Phil will be joined by some of the finest musicians on the Scottish folk scene, including Eddi Reader, Karen Matheson, John McCusker, Kris Drever, Ian Carr and Kevin McGuire along with a special guest Brass Band.
Phil is fondly remembered from his days with Silly Wizard and Relativity and as witty musical partner of the great Shetland fiddler, Aly Bain.
Also widely recognised from his television and radio presenting, he has been involved in some of the seminal programmes that have enabled Scottish music to walk tall, a true ambassador for traditional music.
The musician often keeps high company and no less is true for this year’s special Christmas gathering. A powerful mix of lead vocalists include the inimitable Eddi Reader, who has celebrated a career spanning over three decades and has effortlessly developed into one of popular music’s most thrilling and affecting performers.
With an MBE for outstanding contributions to the arts, three BRIT awards, a number one single and eight critically acclaimed solo albums, Eddi is considered to be one of Scotland’s greatest national treasures.
Karen Matheson OBE, is recognized the world over as the haunting lead vocalist of Celtic supergroup, Capercaillie and one of the finest Gaelic singers alive.
Tickets for the show, which starts at 7pm, are on sale now.
