The Tannahill Weavers

Traditional Celtic music at its best - with fire-driven instrumentals and songs, haunting ballads and a good dose of humour, the Tannahill Weavers have transformed traditional material and brought it into the modern world, vitally alive and kicking. Members of the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame, in recent years the Tannahill Weavers have been joined by piper Iain MacGillivray, who has worked on such exciting productions as Outlander and Men in Kilts, and fiddle player extraordinaire Alistair McCulloch, who teaches at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland when not on tour. 

Formed from a Paisley pub session in 1968, seminal trailblazers the Tannahill Weavers now also rank as national treasures - Glasgow Celtic Connections 

The music may be pure old time Celtic, but the drive and enthusiasm are akin to straight ahead rock and roll - Winnipeg Free Press 

An especially eloquent mixture of the old and the new - New York Times
