Workshop, Song, Scots

Scots Songs from Glasgow with Paul McKenna


Presented by the Traditional Music Forum

(Sat 7 Jun: 1.30pm)

Join Paul McKenna for an inspiring workshop as we explore a vibrant collection of songs from Glasgow, Greater Glasgow, and Paisley - areas steeped in rich industrial history. Many of these songs echo the struggles, triumphs, and stories of the working-class experience, while also weaving in classic themes of Scots song - love, life, and the land. A journey through melody and history not to be missed.

Paul McKenna has long been ranked among Scotland's finest singers and songwriters, armed with a powerful yet intensely emotive voice and passionate social conscience, often expressed through his songs - a combination that has brought frequent comparisons to the great Dick Gaughan. Formed in 2006, The Paul McKenna Band have performed all across the world to much acclaim, and in 2024 took home the title of Scottish Folk Band of the Year at the prestigious MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards.

Presented by the Traditional Music Forum, free for TMF members.
