A special night with one of Scotland’s most acclaimed musicians. DOUGIE MACLEAN makes a welcome return to Innerleithen Memorial Hall for his only show in the Scottish Borders this year. An intimate solo performance celebrating his 50 years in music and focusing on the songs and tunes that have brought him success at home and around the world. Internationally renowned for his song Caledonia and melody The Gael, plus inspired performances in venues from London’s Festival Hall, to New York’s Carnegie Hall and Sydney’s Opera House, Dougie last performed in Innerleithen in 2012. His popularity continues to grow, with his regular online broadcasts begun in March 2020 from his Old Schoolhouse in Perthshire having reached over 4 million viewers in 70 different countries. Dougie has received three prestigious Tartan Clef Awards, a place in the Scottish Music Hall of Fame, a Lifetime Achievement Award from BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, an Honorary Doctorate and an OBE. “Strong yet subtle, hauntingly evocative yet contemporary in feel, this music demands listening to over and over again.” “..a Scottish phenomenon... with his exquisite guitar style, expressive voice and honest performance, his songs conjure up remarkably vivid imagery of our world.” (The Performing Songwriter, USA) “..a musical hero.” (Wall Street Journal, USA) [Image credit: Rob McDougall Photography]
