I played in probably one of the best concerts of my career at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Mon.28th January, “All Will Be Well” – celebrating the life and music of my friend, the wonderful singer and songwriter Michael Marra, who tragically left us in October last year. An excellent house band; Alice & Matthew Marra’s group The Hazey Janes; many singers, including Eddie Reader, Kris Drever, Dougie McLean, Sylvia Rae Tracey, Rod Paterson; a poem from Liz Lochhead; all put together by Rab Noakes, and before a sell-out crowd. It will take us all a while to realise how much Michael gave us, and how much we have lost.
