BANNOCKBURN

ONSTAGE 12AM

Bannockburn, are the group formed by Ted Christopher initially to play for 20,000 of the “Tartan Army” at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow, before the Scotland games.

They have gone from strength to strength since then, and are seasoned travelers who go all over the world, playing their wonderful music. Ted chose the name “Bannockburn” as it is a word that instantly gives a sense of pride and identity to all Scots worldwide.

They also play on a regular basis in Azerbaijan where the band has adopted an orphanage in Baku. In that country, they are jokingly referred to as the Caledonian Society’s resident band. Ted and fiddler Davie Sinclair have been awarded honorary membership of The Baku Caledonian Society.

CHRIS SESAR & GILL HALLIDAY 

Onstage: 9.30pm

Up and coming singer song-writers, Chris Sesar and Gill Halliday have been rapidly gaining recognition for their genre-defying repertoire, effortlessly blending Celtic folk and roots & country music with a brush of gypsy jazz.

Chris Sesar’s songs paint the landscape of human relationships with gentle colours and delicate detail.

Since March 2016 Chris has been touring Scottish Venues with Angus-based singer-songwriter Gill Halliday.

Her intuitive use of wind instruments adds a layer of depth and versatility to the performance whilst her powerful voice delivers songs with heartfelt honesty.

Individually, Chris and Gill are both brilliant vocal performers. Their harmonies, however, are nothing short of mesmerising.
