Join Norman Paterson and Willie Campbell, as they, and a host of wonderful island musicians, will be playing TORN and STORNOWAY in concert!

BIO
Like a fine Scottish whisky from his homeland, Singer Songwriter Norman Paterson has really set the tone for an artist that only makes their mark after years in the creative barrel. Originally from the windswept islands of the Outer Hebrides and now based in Glasgow, he penned his first song at the age of 65 and now has two albums in the pipeline!

Crafting songs in the style of Scottish Folk and Country, he is inspired by artists such as John Prine, Guy Clark and Leonard Cohen. Incorporating the acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo and accordion as they sweep through his songs, Norman is making the kind of music that stirs the ancient soul. Painting memories of a nostalgic island life, his lyrics and signature vocals are warm, authentic and deeply intoxicating.

Acknowledging himself that he is a late starter, he is one of the best examples of ‘its never too late to try’. Cascading melodies and a delightful collection of intoxicating songs, his forthcoming debut album titled Torn with a July 2023 release date will deliver on all fronts. Perfect for those moments of quiet indulgence, Norman’s songs are a glimpse into a world that few will have experienced.

Gearing up for live performances later in the year, Norman Paterson is grabbing every opportunity to take his music to the world. Hang on to his every word and discover a musician whose stories resonate with the gifts of a life well-lived.

CONCERT NIGHT
The first half will be an acoustic set featuring songs from TORN. Helping Norman Paterson out will be Willie Campbell on guitar and backing vocals, Jane Hepburn MacMillan on fiddle with Annette Maclean on piano.

The second half will be a full-band electric set playing STORNOWAY in full. Joining Norman will be Willie Campbell (guitars), Stephen Drummond (accordion), DC MacMillan (drums) and others to be announced.

So dust off your wranglers, go get a feather cut, tie dye a tee-shirt, pull on your hot pants, climb into your platforms and join us for what will be an emotional night of nostalgia, lovely memories and…maybe some dancing in the aisles!

All profits from the night will be donated to Blythswood Moldova and SERA (Stornoway).

CD’s of Torn and Stornoway will be available on the night!
