Live@Troon Weekend Line Up
South Beach Sessions have been gaining a name for themselves in creative line ups for their up close and intimate venue with artistes such as Albert Lee, Bernie Marsden and John Jorgenson having graced the stage guitar in hand.
Well the venue in Troon could well have surpassed anything in its recent past with the line up of three world class female vocalist and instrumentalists for the Live@Troon weekend between the 9th and 11th of September. We feel a bit like Celtic Connections by the Beach!
Ian McCaig, who is promoting the Sessions gigs was delighted at the addition, “We think we have three nights of the finest female musicianship you could pull together in what we think is the perfect venue. Great acoustics, ambience, quality sound and you get to meet the artistes ate the end of the gig. With the addition of Sharon Shannon we have also put together a three gig weekend pass at only £30, they are limited due to the tickets sold but we think it could be the best value ticket of the year!”
Hattie Webb plus Support
Friday 9th September - Doors 7pm
Friday 9th opens with the heavenly vocals and harp of Hattie Webb with her Portuguese percussionist by her side. Hattie is one half of The Webb Sisters who have toured over the past decade as the female harmonies for Leonard Cohen; they also per-formed at the South Beach Sessions with John Jorgenson to rave reviews last year. Hattie will be performing tracks from her debut album as well as no doubt some Cohen numbers too.
Jill Jackson
Saturday 10th September - Doors 7pm
Saturday sees the welcome return of Sessions favourite Jill Jackson, always a sold out sign on the door Jill comes back with her new band playing some of her old stuff, new tunes and the occasional Chaplins numbers too. Laughter, tears and big smiles at the end guaranteed everytime with Ms. Jackson.
She'll be performing with her full band and we can't wait to hear what she's up to now. An old one below but still a goody and captures a bit iof the live energy too
Sharon Shannon
Sunday 11th September - Doors Open 7pm
Sunday 11th closes with a last minute addition and what a coup this is too. World famous accordionist Sharon Shannon is making her way back home to Ireland but will be stopping off at Troon for the final date on her Scottish tour. For those who know her music they’ll tell you that Sharon is an Irish musician best known for her work with the accordion and for her fiddle technique also playing the tin whistle and melodeon. Her 1991 album Sharon Shannon was the best-selling album of traditional Irish music ever released!
