“…as close to perfect as it gets in an imperfect world.”  – Sing Out!

Their diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, and original ballads and lullabies. Their music demonstrates to old and young alike the rich and varied musical heritage of the Celtic people. These versatile musicians have received worldwide accolades consistently over the years for their exuberant and humorous performances and outstanding recording efforts that seemingly can’t get better…yet continue to do just that.

In 2011 the band was inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame, and in 2014 they were joined by innovative piper Lorne MacDougall. Lorne comes with a high pedigree, having arranged and performed pipes for the Disney Pixar movie BraveDreamworks How to Train Your Dragon 2, and the BBC’s Dr Who, along with a long list of other accomplishments.

With the band’s 50th anniversary in 2018, they are firmly established as one of the premier groups on the concert stage. From reflective ballads to footstomping reels and jigs, the variety and range of the material they perform is matched only by their enthusiasm and lively Celtic spirits.

“An especially eloquent mixture of the old and the new.”  – New York Times

” Scotland ‘s Tannahill Weavers play acoustic instruments, but the atmosphere at their shows is electric.  The quartet is as tight and as versatile as any band in the Celtic music revival.  They can summon rock ‘n’ roll intensity or haunting introspection.”  – The Boston Globe, Boston MA
