“Still one of the great British voices” The Guardian
Sat 29 Sep: 7.30pm Perth Concert Hall £15: £12 concessions Gordon Duncan, from Pitlochry, was widely regarded as one of the most skilled and innovative traditional music performers and composers of modern times. While steeped in the art of traditional highland piping, his approach to his music was always imaginative, fresh and at times radical, to the extent that his influence can be heard within an entire generation of younger musicians across Scotland and well beyond. Gordon died in December 2005, aged 41. Many of his own original and hugely distinctive tunes have entered the traditional repertoire and have become session standards with players of all instruments and been recorded by countless artists. Tonight’s concert features many performers who played with Gordon over the years as well as those who have been inspired by his music. This promises to be a very special evening and an unmissable treat for all fans of piping and traditional music.

At the age of 24, Sean became the youngest comedian ever to win the prestigious Perrier Comedy Award. Now aged 41, but “spiritually 11”, he has enjoyed almost 2 decades at the top of the comedy tree.
Star of hit TV shows, Father Ted, My Hero and Blessed, Ardal’s own unique comedy is a spellbinding fusion of off beat stories and polished material that take us on a hilarious journey touched with life-enhancing observations and unexpected twists. His sheer originality and talent ensure that there is no other performer like him.
Sean Hughes
This tour is a long overdue return to the comedy circuit by one of the best stand-ups of his generation. More topical than tomorrow’s news, his twisted gaze can fall upon anything and everything, from dog death to his love of teenage indie pop.
