Eddie Reader returns to Dumfries

ONE of Scotland’s most treasured cultural icons, Eddi Reader, is back performing in Dumfries next month. For well over four decades, Eddi Reader has had the ability to silence a room with a single note, harnessing insightful storytelling and raw emotion. Dumfries audiences can expect to hear show-stopping material from her vast back catalogue, from soul-stirring pop to traditional Scottish ballads, and experience Eddi’s unique charm and on-stage chatter. Her contribution to Scottish culture has been recognised through the award of an MBE and five honorary degrees. In 2022 Eddi celebrated 40 years in music and this latest run of Scottish appearances will follow on from a huge Irish tour. Eddi Reader said: “Each time I return to perform on stages at home, it feels like an important moment of connection – that sparkle from being in front of Scottish audiences never dulls! Easterbrook Hall has a little piece of my heart and I can’t wait to be back in Dumfries sharing songs and stories with you all this April.” Eddi will be joined on the road by Hawick-based artist and folk musician Miwa Nagato-Apthorp. Eddi Reader plays Easterbrook Hall, Dumfries on Thursday April 16 as part of her spring Scottish tour. For more information visit: https://eddireader.co.uk/gigs.
