The Tannahill Weavers

THE TANNAHILL WEAVERS’ ARE A DYNAMIC SCOTTISH TRAD QUARTET PLAYING A POTENT MIXTURE OF TRADITIONAL BALLADS AND FIERY INSTRUMENTALS.

Their music embraces both the mystical Highland style and the rollicking qualities of Lowlander’s tunes, moving from rock and roll intensity to haunting introspection.

The penetrating sound of the Highland bagpipes runs throughout the powerful, rhythmic melodies of guitar, bouzouki, bodhran, fiddle, cello, viola, whistles and keyboard.

‘An especially eloquent mixture of the old and the new.’ New York Times

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

‘A let’s-have-a-great-time attitude.’ Dirty Linen

‘Scotland ‘s Tannahill Weavers play acoustic instruments, but the atmosphere at their shows is electric. The quintet is as tight and as versatile as any band in the Celtic music revival. They can summon rock ‘n’ roll intensity or haunting introspection.’ The Boston Globe, Boston MA

‘…as close to perfect as it gets in an imperfect world.’ Sing Out!
