The Tannahill Weavers are widely considered Scotland's premier traditional band. Their diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, and original ballads and lullabies. Born of a session in Paisley and named for the town's historic weaving industry and local poet laureate Robert Tannahill, the group has made an international name for its special brand of Scottish music, blending the beauty of traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms. Now in 2018, The Tannahill Weavers are celebrating their 50th anniversary with the release of their eighteenth album, Òrach ("golden" in Gaelic).
