Saturday 1st June

Mick West and Frank McLaughlin

Mick West is regarded as one of Scotland’s finest interpreters of traditional song, and is no stranger to anyone who has been to Partick Folk Club in the past! Make sure you don’t miss this chance to see him perform alongside sensational guitarist Frank McLaughlin!

The Jarlath Henderson Band

Jarlath Henderson is perhaps known best for his beautiful style on the Uilleann Pipes, but his lesser known talent, his delivery of traditional songs, is every bit as spectacular. Jarlath will bring us a lovely mix of songs and tunes alongside the wonderful Innes Watson (guitar/fiddle), Hamish Napier (flute/keys), and Duncan Lyall (bass), not to be missed!

Sunday 2nd June

The Scott Wood Trio

Formed in the summer of 2012 for the Piping Live! festival, The Scott Wood Trio are an energetic and dynamic band, with driving tunes and innovative arrangements. With a wealth of personal musical experiences behind them, the trio combines together with a mixture of pipes/whistle, fiddle and guitar to create a tight, powerful and youthful live sound.

The Tannahill Weavers

This dynamic quartet play Scottish traditional music at its best. The band’s potent mixture of traditional ballads and fiery instrumentals leaves their audiences spellbound. As tight and versatile as any band in the Celtic music scene, the Tannahills can summon rock-n-roll intensity or haunting introspection.
