Whiskey and Weavers Event Brings Powerful Celtic Music and Scotch Tasting to The Lindsay; Proceeds Benefit Local Piping and Drumming Program
An afternoon of great music and fine spirits is in store at The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center Sunday, May 5 with Whiskey and Weavers. The screening of a live concert film featuring the Tannahill Weavers (recorded at the Greater Pittsburgh Masonic Center in October 2023) will be preceded by a Scotch whiskey tasting to benefit the Balmoral Classic: U.S. Junior Solo Piping & Drumming Championships, an annual event held in Pittsburgh each fall.
"Scotland's Tannahill Weavers play acoustic instruments, but the atmosphere at their shows is electric," says the Boston Globe. "The quintet is as tight and as versatile as any band in the Celtic music revival. They can summon rock 'n' roll intensity or haunting introspection."
The event is presented in partnership with Pittsburgh's Balmoral School of Piping & Drumming. The Scotch tasting begins at 2 p.m. and the film at 3 p.m. Tickets are available for the film alone, or for both events.
Born of a session in Paisley, Scotland, and named for the town's historic weaving industry and local poet laureate Robert Tannahill, the Tannahill Weavers are internationally known for their unique take on Celtic music, blending beautiful traditional melodies with powerful modern rhythms.
Their diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, original ballads and lullabies, and humorous tales of life in Scotland. From reflective ballads to foot-stomping reels and jigs, the variety and range of the material they perform is matched only by their enthusiasm and lively Celtic spirits.
The Weavers concert at the Pittsburgh Masonic Center "was a highlight of our year," says Balmoral executive director George Balderose. "The May 5 screening is a great way to share that experience and spread awareness of traditional Scottish music to the community."
The Lindsay is an independent nonprofit theater located at 418 Walnut St., Sewickley.
