Wendy Weatherby Band

Ukrainian Community Centre, 14 Royal Terrace, Edinburgh

A fave act at Edinburgh FC, Wendy was last with us at our Burns' Supper in "Oor Rabbie" and is most welcome back with her band tonight.

Wendy's wide musical interests have led her to sing and play at folk and jazz events worldwide. She has composed music for theatre and film and has vast recording experience as a guest on albums including The Complete Songs of Robert Burns, The Complete Songs of Robert Tannahill, and The Pearlfishers' Sky Meadows.

Her own CDs: A Breath on the Cold Glass, Two Loves (Lochshore), and A Shirt of Silk or Snow (Fellside) show her love of song as well as instrumental work; she was nominated in the Scots Trad Awards 2010 as Traditional Singer of the Year.

Her commissions for Celtic Connections Daybreak on the Worlds Edge, poems of William Soutar set for cello quartet and three male voices, and a large scale work based on Lewis Grassic Gibbons Sunset Song feature some of the best traditional musicians in Scotland.

Wendy continues to guest with musicians of many styles the cello being well suited to the dark realms of the singer/songwriter to teach at workshops and festivals and, of course, perform with the Wendy Weatherby Band!
