The Tannahill Weavers gig at An Tobar, Tobermory
At 8.30pm on 7th April, the Tannahill Weavers are playing at An Tobar in Tobermory. The group’s diverse repertoire reflects the duality of Scotland’s musical heritage. It embraces both the mystical quality of the Highlander’s Celtic music and the rollicking – sometimes even brawling – qualities of the Lowlander’s Anglo-Scots tunes. Their arrangements blend the beauty of the traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms.
