Capercaillie. Glasgow Tryst. 22nd.
pairs the top instrumental and Gaelic song band Capercaillie with leading pipe band Shotts and Dykehead in the City Halls on the 22nd. Both groups stray happily irom strict traditional values, using various instruments, rhythms and tempos to inject a more contemporary excitement.
McGinn 0i The Calton, a concert in celebration at the late Glasgow songwriter and periormer, was a sell out during Maylest, and the combined talents oi Stramash, all singers irom the same Glasgow milieu, present the show again on the 20th.
Both Rod Paterson, mm; and Dougie MacLean, 19th, are well loved interpretors oi the older Scots song, but also seasoned performers oi their own material. In Rod's case there should be the added iizz oi Dick Lee's clarinet and sax.
Tonight At Noon, Glasgow Tryst 23rd and Edinburgh Folk Club 16th, is the only Scots band that has an eighties sound, in the sense that they update the songs and tones in a rock synth setting, like a iolk Human League, and still do
them justice. (Norman Chalmers)
