Scotland’s internationally acclaimed and mesmerizing songstress, Eddi Reader, of Fairground Attraction fame joins Ireland’s piano accordion maestro, Alan Kelly and his gang of acclaimed musicians featuring Steph Geremia on flute and vocals, John Douglas (Trashcan Sinatras) & Kris Drever (Lau) on guitars and vocals and Jim Higgins (Christy Moore, The Stunning) on percussion. 

Brimming with powerful instrumentals, captivating songs and buoyant harmonies, this is a fluid union of Irish and Scottish traditions from a collective of true masters, friends and long-time collaborators. The Alan Kelly Gang’s innovative perspective and trademark mix of strong dynamics and driving rhythms complements Eddi Reader’s thrilling performance and evocative story telling.

Alan Kelly and Eddi Reader first crossed paths in 2003 when Alan joined Eddi on a tour of Japan, after which he was invited to join her band and has since toured and recorded by Eddi’s side for more than two decades, forging an enduring musical comradery. In 2010 a collaboration between Eddi and the Alan Kelly Gang was proposed as a one-off festival performance but since developed into a headlining act, selling out their annual Irish tour for 14+ consecutive years.  

Praised for leaving audiences spellbound, Scotland’s The Living Tradition magazine has described it as ‘an astonishing concert’. Their music will draw even the most fainthearted listener into the passion that they put into the music they play – magical, joyous and uplifting!
