The songs of George Livingstone. This will be George's first ever full solo concert. Although starting to play in 1963 George has always sung in groups or bands, and the reason for this first solo concert is that George is fundraising for Erase meso a charity which supports research into Mesothelioma. Having lost a family member to Mesothelioma and having had a neighbour who was diagnosed but received trial treatment which has been successful, as part of a research project, he wants to support the ongoing research needed. George intends to take us on a wander through his musical journey, beginning with some of the songs and stories from his early days in music in Caithness and ending up with some of the songs, and the poems he writes today. George is delighted to be supported in this venture by his friends and great musicians Glenbervie.
George would also like to thank Ardersier International Folk Club and the members for their support in this venture.

 

 GLENBERVIE

 Neil and Kathryn formed Glenbervie Folk Duo in 2015,  having both previously played in folk sessions and other  groups. We have a unique blend of instruments, featuring  a seldom heard combination of Scottish smallpipes and  clarinet, along with Highland pipes, guitar, whistles,  vocals and others. We specialise in providing the historical  stories and background to our tunes and songs, which although predominantly Scottish, are not exclusively so! We have performed worldwide at places including the Falkland Islands, San Diego, Germany, and throughout the British Isles at Ardersier Folk Festival, Yn Chruinnaght on the Isle of Man, and at local arts festivals. Neil also teaches bagpipes from our home in Larbert, Stirlingshire, both in person and online, and Kathryn is a member of the local Falkirk Tryst Orchestra, where she plays clarinet. We have an active YouTube channel which is predominantly used to provide teaching videos for pupils, but also has video recordings of us playing in various places, (mainly Neil on Highland pipes) to help raise funds for various charities via our JustGiving links. Our Border Collie, Milo, also features in many of these videos!
