Celtic Connections proudly presents Donald WG Lindsay & Alasdair Roberts and Dàna
Scottish musicians Donald WG Lindsay and Alasdair Roberts, friends for thirty years, are embarking on their first duo tour in autumn 2024. Known for their unorthodox musical paths, they will present a blend of traditional and original music, combining pipe tunes and guitar with a selection of songs.
Their repertoire spans Scottish fiddle, Highland piping, Hungarian and Romanian influences, and Northumbrian tunes. Songs include rare ballads, Scots lyrical pieces, and original compositions. Audiences can expect an evening filled with rich, historical Scottish music, celebrating the artistry and long-standing friendship of these two unconventional musicians.
Dàna are a new emerging all-female band based in Glasgow. Their name, derived from the Gaelic word meaning "bold" or "audacious," perfectly captures their vibrant sound and approach to performance. They have swiftly made a name for themselves in Scotland’s rich musical scene, earning acclaim for their fresh take on traditional and contemporary tunes and captivating live performances. Founded by a group of musicians who met and honed their craft at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Dàna features a traditional blend of fiddle, clarsach, whistle, and piano. Each member contributes their individual style and influences, drawn from their diverse regional backgrounds and dialects, creating a sound that is both rich and exciting.
