A Burns celebration concert with Alastair Savage (fiddle), Alice Allen (cello) and John Shedden (actor).
As we approach Burn’s night, join the internationally acclaimed Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, director Tommy Smith, and special guest, the inimitable Eddi Reader, as together, they richly re-imagine Scotland through uplifting music, beautiful arrangements, and a truly unmistakable Scottish voice.

Taking evocative melodies from across Scotland, they weave words, music and colourful arrangements together in a rich musical tapestry.
