To be performed at Perth Concert Hall on Friday 6th November as part of Perthshire Amber - The Dougie MacLean Festival.
The Perthshire Amber Festival is proud to present the premiere of this special synthesis of the wealth of Dougie’s songs and instrumental music.
This very special performance brings together Perth favourite Dougie MacLean (famed for his song "Caledonia" and composition "The Gael" used in "Last of the Mohicans") with some of Scotland’s finest musicians including Jenna Reid (fiddle), Ross Ainslie (pipes, whistles, mandocello), Sorren Maclean (acoustic guitar, vocals) and Iain Sandilands (percussion) as well as the wonderful strings of the Perthshire Ensemble.
Dougie MacLean needs no introduction; as singer, songwriter, composer and instrumentalist, no artist captures the soul of Scotland with more authenticity or emotion. During his 40 years as a musician, audiences have been thrilled by performances of his now classic songs as well as his Perthshire Amber Suite, the Muir of Gormack, The Search and in 2014 the Perthshire Cantata. His "Caledonia
Cantata" beautifully fuses together the best of all this previous work with some wonderful new songs and, of course, his engaging stories.
Once again he’ll present "an irresistible tapestry of tunes, rhythms, instrumental and orchestral colours, harmonies and texture." (Michael Tumelty The Herald) and include much loved songs like Broken Wings, She Will Find Me, This Love Will Carry and, of course, the song that’s been called "Scotland’s alternative national anthem", Caledonia. A full concert experience not to be missed!
