Phil Cunningham's Christmas Songbook

Phil Cunningham and his Christmas Songbook colleagues have been delighting audiences for the last 18 years. He is delighted to announce they'll be back at The Queen's Hall this December, for three shows!

Full of jovial anecdotes, modern and traditional Christmas music and exquisite musicianship that will tug at one's heartstrings, it is indeed “the perfect way to fill up your festive fuel tank” (The Scotsman). Phil will be joined by some of the finest musicians on the Scottish folk scene, along with a special guest Brass Band.

What can you say about Phil Cunningham? A superb innovative instrumentalist, with not simply the fastest fingers in the West but some of the most sensitive ones, too. He is fondly remembered from his days with Silly Wizard and Relativity and as witty musical partner of the great Shetland fiddler, Aly Bain. Also widely recognised from his television and radio presenting, he has been involved in some of the seminal programmes that have enabled Scottish music to walk tall, a true ambassador for traditional music. Also a humourist, his breezy banter can have a 2000-seat hall falling about in the aisles.

Phil often keeps high company and no less is true for this year’s special Christmas gathering.
