Phil Cunningham's Christmas Songbook & Alice Marra

Anna ramps up the festive spirit with news of events to get you feeling Christmassy, including Phil Cunningham's Christmas Songbook and a special event celebrating Michael Marra.

Anna has news of Phil Cunningham's upcoming Christmas Songbook tour - a seasonal favourite featuring a star-studded lineup of some of the finest musicians on the Scottish folk scene. This year includes the inimitable Eddi Reader, Scottish songstress Karen Matheson OBE, celebrated multi-instrumentalist John McCusker, Orcadian roots singer and guitarist Kris Drever, guitar virtuoso Ian Carr and double bassist Kevin McGuire.

Michael Marra’s contribution to culture is being celebrated in Dundee this Dececmber via screenings of his legendary High Sobriety concert at the Bonar Hall, recorded in 2000. 24 years later, this newly re-edited and restored version brings to life the magic of the Bard o’ Lochee’s captivating presence, a rare opportunity to experience the concert that was recorded for his High Sobriety live album. Michael's daughter, Alice Marra, joins Anna to chat about her father's incredible legacy.
