About this concert
THIS IS A LIVESTREAMED EVENT The highly acclaimed Tae Sup wi' a Fifer series of gigs is curated by James Yorkston. Following the success of their October live streamed show, December 11th sees our favourite trio reunite once more for some seasonal cheer. All in the same room, yet at a safe but social distance, the boys will be collaborating instrumentally throughout, swapping songs, lending harmonies and telling stories. “With Tae Sup wi’ a Fifer, I just try and mix things up, keeping the line-ups interesting, not one particular genre or theme to a night… A lot of the people I ask to play are friends who I’ve known for years, or just people I’ve met on the road whose music has taken to me. It’s a’ braw though, and when programming Tae Sup, I just think Who would I like to see? and work from there…” – James Yorkston James Yorkston Domino Records have just released James Yorkston’s new album THE WIDE ,WIDE RIVER. James was an integral original member of the much lauded and hugely influential Fence Collective (King Creosote, Pictish Trail, KT Tunstall, Beta Band etc). Throughout his career, James has released a succession of critically-acclaimed albums as both a solo artist and as part of the collaborative project Yorkston Thorne Khan. Withered Hand is the songwriting output of Dan Willson. A cult figure in the Scottish music scene since 2009, Dan has released two widely acclaimed albums, New Gods (2014) and Good News (2009) and several lo-fi EPs. Currently working towards his third full length album, Withered Hand continues to tour and play one-off dates in venues from concert halls to living rooms. Kris Drever is a Glasgow based, Orkney born musician. He has won multiple awards including an incredible 7 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards; two shortlist nominations for Scottish Album of The Year (with his trio Lau) and much acclaim for his solo recordings and concerts, including glowing reviews from The Herald, The Guardian, Mojo and Q Magazine. Drever’s voice and guitar form an integral part of the backbone of today’s contemporary roots and folk scene. Hugely admired as a solo artist and collaborator, he is a phenomenal and prolific artist.
