For twenty five years the Tannahill Weavers' diverse repertoire
has reflected the duality of Scotland’s musical heritage. It embraces
both the mystical quality of the Highlander’s Celtic music, and the
rollicking, sometimes even brawling qualities of the Lowlander’s
Anglo-Scots tunes. The Tannahill Weavers’ arrangements blend the beauty
of traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms, while the
penetrating sound of the Highland bagpipes is a thread of ancient
memory running through it all. Roy Gullane (guitar, lead
vocals) and Phil Smillie (flute, bodhrán, whistles,
harmony vocals) are the two longest serving professional members of the
Tannahills. They’re joined by Les Wilson on guitar, bouzouki,
keyboards, bass pedals, lead and harmony vocals, and John Martin on
fiddle, cello, viola and bass vocals. Colin Melville is the
Tannies’ latest piper, who contributes Highland bagpipes, Scottish
small pipes and whistles. One of the longest standing and most prolific
Celtic renaissance bands, the Tannies have proved themselves among the
greats of our time with consistent high quality of performance and
recording.
