EDDI READER Born into a working class Glasgow family, Eddi Reader traveled the well-trodden road south to London and eventual fame with the highly popular band Fairground Attraction. Her vocal abilities quickly transcended the norm for factory, big studio pop as she moved on to a solo career. She has effortlessly developed into one of music's most thrilling and affecting performers. Whilst the perfection of her technique is widely acknowledged, what sets Reader apart is the depth and quality of the emotional performance; her ability not only to move the listener but to connect her experience to that of her audience. Eddi has most recently released (2009) Love is the Way on Rough Trade Records, this album follows one of the most successful stages in Eddi's career - the release of her stunning interpretations of the Songs Of Robert Burns. (now released in a deluxe version). The Robert Burns project saw her awarded an MBE for outstanding contributions to the arts, and also motivated the University of Glasgow to award her with an honorary doctorate in music. Eddi will be performing with her two brilliant sidesmen, Boo Hewerdine on guitar and vocals and Irish accordeon maestro Alan Kelly.
