Featuring The Lone Star Swing Band
A celebration of the life of Thomas Fraser.
An evening of song and storytelling in the hands of Orcadian western swingers The Lone Star Swing Band, with novelist, playwright and musician Duncan McLean at the helm.
Thomas was a fisherman and crofter from the remote island if Burra, Shetland, and one of Scotland's most facinating musical heroes. Obesessed with country music and the blues, Thomas mastered the styles if his idols from Jimmie Rodgers to Hank Williams and made their songs his own. An evening designed to set your toes tapping, your heart racing and your emotions running high.
