The Tannahill Weavers are THE premier traditional band from Scotland. Their diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, and original ballads and lullabies. These versatile musicians have received worldwide accolades consistently over the years for their exuberant performances and outstanding recording efforts that seemingly can't get better...yet continue to do just that. Born of a session in Paisley, Scotland 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. Founding members Roy Gullane (lead vocals, guitar) and Phil Smillie (flute, whistles, bodhrán, vocals) are joined by John Martin (fiddle, cello, viola, vocals), Les Wilson, (bouzouki, guitar, keyboards, bass pedals, vocals) and Colin Melville (highland bagpipes, Scottish small pipes, whistles) to create the legend that is The Tannahill Weavers.
