CQAF – Martin Simpson presents…A Celebration of Dick Gaughan.
about
An icon of folk music and social justice, Dick Gaughan retired after a career-ending stroke in 2016, but a recent box set R/evolution: 1969/83 has kicked off a major reappraisal.
Following a sold-out tribute concert at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections in January, CQAF is proud to bring together four terrific artists and Gaughan devotees from Ireland, England and Scotland to perform his songs: award-winning singers Siobhan Miller and Róisín Chambers, multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Barry Kerr and incomparable guitar wizard Martin Simpson, who recorded and performed with Gaughan, one of his key influences.
Expect an evening of exquisite traditional songs, anthems for nature and the common man, tales from the road and unique collaborations. Balm for the soul in dark times – and profits going to Gaughan himself.
