Third Alistair Hulett Memorial Concert. 25th January 2013.
The Third Alistair Hulett Memorial Concert, scheduled as part of Celtic Connections, will take place on Friday 25th January starting at 19:30; the venue is, as for our previous two outstandingly successful memorial concerts, St. Andrew’s in the Square. Performers this year include – to quote the Celtic Connections’ website – the “incisive, articulate and exquisitely expressive singer-songwriter” Karine Polwart, who’s album Traces was judged to be the Sunday Herald’s Album of the Year for 2012. Also performimg are the ever-popular Roy Bailey; Laggan co-founder Arthur Johnstone with Gavin Livingstone; rising star Ewan McLennan, winner of several awards including the 2011BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award; and Anne Neilson with Finlay Allison who have performed together many times including, of course, as members of Stramash.
This year the first half of the concert will be centred around the the theme of Red Clydeside with renditions of songs taken from Alistair’s Red Clydeside album; linking narration will be supplied by Jimmy Ross, folk singer, co-founder of the Tradition Club in Glasgow, and political activist. The second half will feature sets by Karine, Roy and Ewan.
Our previous Alistair Hulett Memorial Concerts were quickly sold out, and we anticipate this year’s being just the same, so book your tickets soon from the Celtic Connections online booking office.

Wish I was in the Northern Hemisphere for this.
Have a great night and keep the red flag flying.

Sorry it has taken me so long to congratulate you for yet another excellent memorial night. I missed Alistair’s performance in 2003 (unemployed and skint at the time), but his spirit was so evident. Arthur, Sheena and the others did a great job and Roy Bailey,was, as usual, ‘chust sublime’. Well done everyone and keep up the good work!

Alistair Hulett was a singer, songwriter, international socialist and revolutionary. He was a kind, gentle man who was committed to fighting for a better world, a world based on the principles of justice, equality, love and respect for all of humanity. The world was a better place for knowing him and is a sadder place for his loss. He left a great legacy in his music that will continue to bring inspiration to many who, like him, believe a better world was possible.
