Eddi Reader
This event has passed.
Celebrating over 40 years as a live performer, Eddi Reader has effortlessly developed into one of popular music’s most thrilling and affecting performers. Her rare blend of meltingly true vocals and towering romanticism combine with an astute and pragmatic nature to make her a unique and powerful figure in contemporary British music.
Eddi Reader – vocals/guitar
Boo Hewerdine – vocals/guitar
John Douglas – mandolin
Alan Kelly – accordion
Kevin McGuire – Double Bass
Though first brought into the limelight as front woman for Fairground Attraction, it was Eddi’s subsequent solo albums that signalled her ability to assimilate different musical styles and make them very much her own. Notably, The Songs of Robert Burns (2003) is a timeless interpretation showcasing the poems of Scotland’s national bard and gained her an MBE for outstanding contributions to the Arts.
With 10 critically acclaimed solo albums, 3 BRIT awards, a #1 single and an MBE in tow, Eddi continues to delight audiences worldwide, extinguishing the preordained boundaries of genre and bringing joyous life to all forms of song.
Tonight her band includes Boo Hewerdine on vocals / guitar, John Douglas on Mandolin, Alan Kelly on accordion and Kevin McGuire on double bass.
