ALASDAIR ROBERTS

About this event

---

WITH SPECIAL GUEST ADA WOOD,   This will be a rare chance to see Alasdair Roberts perform a full-length solo hometown show, his first since 2023. He'll play a set that draws on his extensive back catalogue as well as providing an opportunity to hear developing and newly written material.     Alasdair Roberts is a Glasgow-based musician - primarily a singer and guitarist - born in Germany and raised in central Scotland. Acclaimed by Folk Radio UK as 'one of our most talented, important and relevant songwriters and song-adapters', he has released several critically acclaimed albums of his music via Drag City Records since the late nineties. Alasdair is known for his own idiosyncratic and evocative compositions and songs, as well as for his fresh interpretations of traditional songs and narrative ballads from Scotland and beyond. He enjoys a wide range of collaborations with fellow musicians, as well as with artists from other disciplines. He plays in the groups Furrow Collective and Current 93 and has toured extensively in Scotland and worldwide, both solo and with various musical companions.
