, Glasgow,
Cost: 12.50
Back in 1874, the centenary edition of Robert Tannahill’s work was celebrated by crowds of 15,000 in his native Paisley, since when his exceptional compositions have been sadly neglected. With 2010 marking 200 years since Tannahill’s untimely death, Dr Fred Freeman, the driving force behind the Complete Songs of Robert Burns series, is currently embarked on a similar project to revive the weaver-poet’s rightful reputation. Tonight’s concert, launching the second of a projected five Tannahill albums, features more than a dozen of the performers from that project, including Emily Smith, Jim Malcolm, Brian � hEadhra, John Morran, Aaron Jones, Sandy Brechin and Marc Duff.
