Cult Scottish songwriter, singer and acoustic fingerstyle
guitarist Alasdair Roberts will be performing his interpretations of
traditional ballads alongside original songs which span a rich career that's
seen tours and collaborations with Will Oldham, Bill Callahan, Joanna Newsom,
Isobel Campbell and many more.
His new album 'A Wonder Working Stone was released in
January and it continues Alasdair’s long-standing love affair and deeply
creative interaction with the traditional music of his native Scotland (and
beyond), offering an idiosyncratic and nuanced radicalization of that
tradition.
The music of Alasdair Roberts straddles the border
between contemporary pop music and traditional folk music, drawing new
listeners from both sides of the divide, as well as commentators from the
scholarly realms.
"One of Britain’s most singular and original
talents" - Colin Irwin, fRoots
