SESSION A9

Thu 5 May, doors 7.30pm

The Lemon Tree, tickets 12+bf

"gloriously epic sound..Just inspiring" fRoots

In the true spirit of traditional Scottish Music, the band formed during a Session on the famous A9 - the road between Glasgow and the Highlands of Scotland. Regularly bumping into eachother at various stops on the road, sessions began, a band was formed, albums released and one of the most experienced and talented fiddle bands on the circuit began to appear live.

Session A9 are Charlie McKerron (Capercaillie), Adam Sutherland (Peatbog Faeries), Kevin Henderson (Fiddlers Bid), Gordon Gunn (a host of bands!),David 'Chimp' Robertson (Capercaillie), Marc Clement (Blazin Fiddles), Brian MacAlpine (too many to mention!).

As well as seeing some of the top names in Scottish traditional music, audiences will gain an insight into the spirit of a Scottish session. Not a night to be missed.

"Session A9 are your men when it comes to pounding out a high-octane tune, but they are also wonderfully creative arrangers who make dynamic use of their line-up of four fabulous fiddlers." The Scotsman
