Text from the Celtic Connections Concert Guide:
One year on from Gerry Rafferty's much-mourned passing, his daughter Martha and his long-term friend Rab Noakes curate a lavish commemorative gathering of the Paisley-born singer-songwriter's friends, family, bandmates, collaborators and admirers, performing their pick of classics and lesser-known jewels from his 40-year career; from the Humblebums through Stealers Wheel, City to City and Baker Street to his later solo releases. Artists include The Proclamers (Rafferty having co-produced their 1987 breakthrough hit Letter from America); flying in specially from Toronto, Ron Sexsmith; Barbara Dickson (who sang backing vocals on City to City and Night Owl, later duetting with Rafferty on her Dylan album); fellow 70s hitmaker Maria Muldaur; ex-Cream singer and bassist - and fellow Scottish small-town-boy-made-big - Jack Bruce; Burns Unit/ex-Delgados songstress Emma Pollock and soulful Irish balladeer James Vincent McMorrow. Three of Rafferty's regular sidemen, guitarist Hugh Burns, saxophonist Mel Collins and multi-instrumentalist Graham Preskett, will feature with the evening's house band, Glasgow's own Roddy Hart and the Lonesome Fire.
