The Tannahill  Weavers in Concert –
Friday, May 18, 7 pm 
The award-winning Scottish band, the Tannahill Weavers, will be in concert at Northminster Presbyterian Church 7:00, Friday, May 18, as part of the church’s Sound & Spirit series.  The band makes a rare stop in Indianapolis as part of their 50th anniversary tour.  Throughout the years, the Tannahill Weavers have been trailblazers for Scottish music, and their tight harmonies and inventive arrangements have won them fans from beyond the folk and Celtic music scenes.  Since their first visit to the United States in 1981, the band’s unique combination of traditional melodies on pipes, flute and fiddle, driving rhythms on guitar and bouzouki, and powerful three and four part vocal harmonies have taken the musical community by storm.  As Garrison Keillor, the former host of “Prairie Home Companion” remarked, “These guys are a bunch of heroes every time they go on tour in the States.”  

All are welcome to hear this incredible band as they bring Celtic music from Scotland to Indiana.  From reflective ballads to foot stomping reels and jigs, the variety and range of the material the Tannahill Weavers perform is matched only by their enthusiasm and lively Celtic spirits.   As with all Sound & Spirit events, the concert is free and child care is provided.
