LOVERS of traditional music are in for a treat on May 3 when The Tannahill Weavers come to Burnley Mechanics.
This colourful quintet are known as one of the most versatile bands on the Celtic music scene.
The band reflect the diverse nature of Celtic music from the lyrical laments to the heart-stirring battle songs of the Highlands.

Former finalists in the Scottish Traditional Music Awards, the concert will appeal to folk fans and those prepared to experience omething a little different.
