Traditional Celtic music at its best! With fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, haunting ballads and a good dose of humour, the Tannahill Weavers have transformed traditional

material and brought it into the modern world, vitally alive and kicking.

Members of the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame, in 2019 the Tannahill Weavers were  nominated for Folk Album of the Year and Folk Band of the Year in Scotland. Recently they

have been joined by piper Iain MacGillivray, who is Scotland’s youngest Clan leader and has worked recently on such exciting productions as Outlander and Men in Kilts, and has performed for a huge list of stars and dignitaries in recent years.

"Formed from a Paisley pub session in 1968, seminal trailblazers the Tannahill Weavers now also rank as national treasures." -Glasgow Celtic Connections 2018

"The music may be pure old time Celtic, but the drive and enthusiasm are akin to straight ahead rock and roll." -Winnipeg Free Press

"An especially eloquent mixture of the old and the new." - New York Time

When Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Bob Geldof and Brian May need a Party Band, who do they call…?

Well, they obviously want the best for their parties, so nothing else will do. And with JAMIE & THE FALCONS (formerly The World Famous Red Sox) they know they’re in in good hands, because at some point they’ve probably played with a Falcon or two..

With a repertoire of over 300 songs covering 4 decades, a fantastic sense of fun and amazing flexibility and you’ll start to see why they’ve become The Rock Stars’ Choice. Or maybe yours!

 

“..thank you for the wonderful ‘vibe’ you gave to our wedding. It made the weekend one to remember…“

Phil Collins

…the ultimate party band!”

Brian May (Queen)

Highly recommend these guys. None better!

Over the past few tours, , DS:UK have become THE Dire Straits tribute show for true fans of Mark Knopfler’s incredible band, earned by delivering the music with an attention to detail that few tribute bands strive for.

The ON anoTHEr NIGHT show is DS:UK’s 5th tour, representing the final era of Dire Straits’ phenomenal career, and brings a genuine and unique experience that will bring fans the tracks they love from On

Every Street, alongside the classic Dire Straits songs you love to hear.

the band members are amazing and it was very moving listening to Romeo and Juliet and Sultans

of Swing. The stories in between the songs added to the evening, and everyone we went with had

a great time.  We can’t wait to see the Brothers in Arms tour 2025. If you love Dire Straits then do

Adventures In Modern Recording – An Intimate Evening with Trevor Horn

From Seal to Frankie Goes to Hollywood, from ABC to Yes, from Grace Jones to Belle and Sebastian, and from Robbie Williams to Pet Shop Boys, one man has been at the heart of some of Britain’s most important pop music of the past 50 years: Trevor Horn.

The super producer has been described as ‘the man who invented the eighties’ and he was also responsible for the sound of such bands as Dollar, Malcolm McLaren, t.A.T.u. and countless more, including Hans Zimmer, Marc Almond, Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tina Turner, Art of Noise, Rod Stewart, and LeAnn Rimes.

After achieving a number one hit with his band, The Buggles, with Video Killed The Radio Star, Horn became a member of Yes before becoming the most important hit-maker of the 1980s – and beyond. Awards followed – there were four Brits, a 1995 Grammy for Seal’s Kiss From A Rose, a 2010 Ivor Novello for his Outstanding Contribution to British Music, and a CBE.

Following the publication of his best-selling memoir, Adventures In Modern Recording: From ABC to ZTT, Horn is visiting a select handful of theatres to talk about his exploits as a bona fide legend of pop.

Julian Lloyd Webber and his wife Jiaxin, invite audiences to join them for an evening of music, stories and celebration, as Julian returns,  having just published his candid and widely acclaimed autobiography Bows and Arrows.

Audiences are treated to a richly illustrated musical journey through Julian’s own remarkable career which features over 60 recorded albums including Variations, Lloyd Webber plays Lloyd Webber and his Brit Award winning recording of Elgar’s Cello Concerto.

Julian is an ambassador of the King’s Trust and a patron for Young Lives versus Cancer, both positions he is proud to have held over thirty years and counting. Julian was the London Underground’s First Official Busker and the only classical musician chosen to perform at the Closing Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games.

Bach, Bows and Arrows! includes live performances from Jiaxin, alongside reflections and video clips from Julian’s own personal archive.

Audiences will have a once in a lifetime chance to question both Lloyd Webbers, as they recall working with musical greats including Elton John, Philip Glass, Yehudi Menuhin, Stéphane Grappelli, Joaquín Rodrigo and Julian's brother Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber.

This is a unique and intimate and insightful evening with two of Britain’s most distinguished musicians.

Los Pacaminos featuring Paul Young Los Pacaminos was formed in summer 1992, when UK pop star Paul Young’s love of all things Tex-Mex led to exploratory discussions with some like-minded musician friends. Within a few weeks, Los Pacaminos was born and rehearsals had begun. The band was originally a six-piece. Joining Paul were guitarist and singer Jamie Moses, accordion/keyboard player Matt Irving, singer/songwriter Drew Barfield, bassist Steve Greetham and drummer Mark Pinder. In November 1992, the boys took to the stage for their first ever gig at the White Horse in Richmond, Matt’s local watering-hole. They went down a storm. Despite expectations that the band would fall apart when something more important came along, the exact opposite happened. With every show, their friendships grew stronger, the band played tighter, and the seeds of their loyal fanbase had been sown. While Paul’s name was used in gig promotion, the Los Pacaminos name and the boys’ trademark stetsons made it clear this wasn’t a Paul Young show. In time, the band started writing and performing their own songs, and the boys knew this wasn’t going to be a short-term project. In 1997, after five years of gigging, Jamie introduced Paul to Melvin Duffy, a pedal steel player he’d played with, and suggested Melvin play on a few songs at the next show. Paul remembers it well: “As soon as Mel took the first solo, we all melted. He had to be in the band, the decision wasn’t his to make!” In 2002, as an established seven-piece band, the Pacs delighted their fans with the release of their eponymous first album. Comprising 12 original songs that ran through their influences, including the Texas Tornados, Doug Sahm, Flaco Jimenez, Roy Orbison, The Band, Chuck Berry, Ry Cooder and Calexico, ‘Los Pacaminos’ pulled in an impressive array of positive reviews. These songs, together with a number of acclaimed covers, became the backbone of their set list over the coming years. In 2015, the boys lost their dear friend and founder member Matt Irving after a long battle with cancer. Although Matty’s boots were very big boots to fill, Steve “Woody” Oakman stepped in as the band’s accordionist a year later. Woody has been a key member ever since and with an unmatched live reputation, two acclaimed studio albums and two live albums under their belts, Los Pacaminos continue to explore and perform the music of the Southwest.
