We have teamed up with Scotland on Tour helping to create new concerts and bring world class music to towns and villages across Scotland. Take a look and see who is coming to Bathgate!
Thursday 23rd June 8pm
Jack Badcock with Support from Robyn Red.
A previous finalist in the BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year Award, singer and guitarist Jack Badcock is a veteran performer, having toured extensively on four continents, predominantly as frontman and founding member of renowned world-folk band Dallahan.
Saturday 16th July 8pm
Liz Jones & Broken Windows - Original music makers, who have been described as "peaceful debauchery". Unpinned by genre, they take each song where it needs to go. Their version of gutsy rootsy rock, touching the blues, folk & latin, comes from wide influences across a group of established, and some world toured, musicians. There is a great energy around the strength of their front-woman’s vocals, but this is also a band for lovers of musicianship, solos, rhythm and vibe. This is 'band' music. The ‘Windeas’ enjoy sell out gigs, national and local radio play, excellent reviews and a fierce home town following.
Support TBC
Saturday 13th August 8pm
Savourna Stevenson & Steve Kettley with support from Jasmin Jet -Clarsach virtuoso Savourna Stevenson joins forces with old friend and saxophonist Steve Kettley in a duo showcasing her compositions – a blend of haunting melodies, pulsating rhythms and stirring improvisations. Savourna is known for breaking stylistic barriers while maintaining her Scottish roots. She has collaborated with musicians such as Aly Bain, Eddi Reader and Toumani Diabate and is acclaimed for recent orchestral and choral works. Steve leads several groups playing his original music, plus Orange Claw Hammer, interpreting the music of avant-rock legend Captain Beefheart.
Wednesdy 21st September 8pm
Pictish Trail with support from Dixie Fried - Follow the Hebridean psychedelic singer-songwriter, accompanied by his full-band, on a whirlwind tour of Scotland’s hidden gem venues with his strange, unpredictable, sardonic and yet deeply personal record, Island Family is the fifth album from Isle of Eigg dwelling electro-acoustic psych-pop wonder Pictish Trail, AKA Johnny Lynch. It offers his contrarian view of arcadia; a search for the euphoric in the bucolic, bound up in sometimes conflicting ideas and feelings around nature and environment, sincerity and artifice, escapism and belonging. It’s an album about how no man can remain an island, however hard he might try.
Thursday 22nd September 8pm
Firelight Trio -Firelight Trio play European folk music that is evocative, inventive, and endlessly exciting. Driving fiddle and stately nyckelharpa meet deep accordion grooves in a rich tapestry of lively Swedish polskas and Scottish reels, lilting French waltzes, toe-tapping klezmer, dazzling original tunes and more.
Wednesday 12th October 8pm
Dallahan -Dallahan is one of the most distinct forces in the international folk music scene. Forged in Scotland and Ireland's traditional music community, but drawing on the traditional music styles of the Balkans and North America, they create an original and seamless musical montage, blending their contemporary influences from jazz, funk, and pop music. Dallahan take their listeners on a journey, traversing styles and countries of the world in a dazzling live show, creating their own unique brand of World-folk delivered with stunning virtuosity. The lineup consists of Jack Badcock on guitar and vocals, Ciaran Ryan on banjo, mandolin and fiddle, Andrew Waite on accordion and Benedict Morris on fiddle.
