Party: The Wendy Weatherby Band at Montrose Folk Club

This Friday we welcome The Wendy Weatherby Band to the Folk Club.

Wendy’s wide musical interests have led her to sing and play at folk and jazz events worldwide. She has composed music for theatre and film and has vast recording experience as a guest on albums ranging from ‘The Complete Songs of Robert Burns’, and ‘The Complete Songs of Robert Tannahill’ to The Pearlfishers’s ‘Sky Meadows’.

Her own CDs: ‘A Breath on the Cold Glass’, ‘Two Loves’ (Lochshore) and ‘A Shirt of Silk or Snow’ (Fellside) show her love of song as well as instrumental work; she was nominated in the Scots Trad Awards 2010 as ‘Traditional Singer of the Year’. Her commissions for Celtic Connections – ‘Daybreak on the World’s Edge’, poems of William Soutar set for cello quartet and three male voices, and a large scale work based on Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s ‘Sunset Song’ – feature some of the best traditional musicians in Scotland.

Theatre productions include Bill Bryden’s ‘The Ship’ and ‘The Big Picnic'; John Bett’s adaptations of Burns’s ‘The Jolly Beggars’ and ‘Para Handy’, and Wee Stories’s award winning production ‘Arthur, The Story of a King’. She has composed, performed and directed music for Wee Stories, Lung Ha’s, Foolish Notion, Storyteller Scotland and Mull Theatre, and currently works regularly with Andy Cannon, one of Scotland’s most highly regarded storytellers.

Wendy continues to guest with musicians of many styles – the cello being well suited to the dark realms of the singer/songwriter – teach at workshops and festivals and, of course, perform with the Wendy Weatherby Band!

Playing alongside Wendy will be Sandy Brechin, Stevie Lawrence and Fiona Cuthill all highly regarded players in their own right so it promises to be a great night.

£8.00
