tomtscotland Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNDBjJm0O04 This is not to be missed. It's on BBC2 Scotland 9.30pm this Thursday 22nd January and is preceded at 9pm by Martyn Bennett documentary. My wee "taster" video cannae dae this justice - the concert was superb. I've edited in a wee bit of Martyn's original version - this comes in when Martyn's picture appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Heard some of it on the radio. Sounded astonishing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenblueeyes Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Woohoo - thanks for the heads up. I only found out about the concert on the day so couldn't go (serves me right for not paying attention to the Celtic Connections line up). Saw him once at the opening of Mayfest and was blown away by him. He was outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenblueeyes Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yep - thoroughly enjoyed it. Already have the CD of Grit but I've just downloaded it for my MP3 player. He was such a nice man too. A big loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Laud Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Abig shout up for Dick Gaeghan (scuse the spelling) for turning down the BBCs offer to play in it because of their biased reporting during the referendum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame that we only get this on SD BB2 Scotland. I'm sure we deserve better ..especially when you consider the hours and hours that BBC put on it's main HD channels for the likes of the boat race, the London Marathon, The Lord Major's Parade etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtscotland Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 That's my maw's pal's wee lassie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZKoDDUzwV4 Here's the other one where she was main singer. This was opening song and the power she has in those lungs was astonishing. I've uploaded the whole concert song by song - a youtube search of "Grit Greg Lawson" should find them all. Please share songs on facebook etc if you like them .. this concert deserves a wide audience because the original album was iconic and the orchestrated version was a masterpiece that we in Scotland should be proud of.
