        Gordeanna McCulloch & Anne Neilson were introduced to ballads by Norman Buchan's Ballads Club in the 1960s & have performed & researched them ever since. Both are tutors on the Traditional Music course at the Royal Scottish Conservatoire. Gordeanna sang with the ground-breaking Scottish band The Clutha & currently sings with the Eurydice Choir in Glasgow. Anne is a member of Stramash. Together they run regular superb ballad workshops in Glasgow with source singers from Scotland & beyond. (see http://www.lauriesacousticmusicbar.co.uk/ballad_workshop.htm).
        
        Anne & Gordeanna will introduce us to a less familiar ballad in the morning: The Bonny Hind, Child no 50. A background note is available in advance on booking. You are also invited to bring along at least one traditional ballad of your choice to sing & talk about in the afternoon.
