The Gordon Duncan Memorial Trust presents

A National TreasureA celebration of the music of Gordon Duncanfeaturing: Dougie MacLeanSession A9Duncan ChisholmRoss AinslieJarlath Henderson + many more to be announcedSat 29 Sep: 7.30pmPerth Concert Hall£15: £12 concessions

Gordon Duncan, from Pitlochry, was widely regarded as one of the most skilled and innovative traditional music performers and composers of modern times. While steeped in the art of traditional highland piping, his approach to his music was always imaginative, fresh and at times radical, to the extent that his influence can be heard within an entire generation of younger musicians across Scotland and well beyond.

Gordon died in December 2005, aged 41. Many of his own original and hugely distinctive tunes have entered the traditional repertoire and have become session standards with players of all instruments and been recorded by countless artists.

Tonight’s concert features many performers who played with Gordon over the years as well as those who have been inspired by his music. This promises to be a very special evening and an unmissable treat for all fans of piping and traditional music.www.gordonduncan.co.uk

Booking infoTo avoid being endless with the small print and extra information about tickets, pricing, offers, discounts, accessibility etc, we’ve kept it snappy here, but full info is available from box office.

Membership horsecrossregulars pay £10 a year and get 10% off most tickets and food.Concessions where they are available concessions usually apply to under 16s, Young Scots, unwaged, students, senior citz (only Sat matinees at the theatre) and people with disabilities. Carers go free. Bring your ID when you collect tickets. Not every show offers concessions on every ticket and they are subject to availability.Reservations we only hold tickets for group bookers (10 people+).Refunds if a show is running for several nights, we’ll do our best to swap tickets for another night. We don’t refund or exchange tickets for a one-off event.Group bookers get together a group of 10 or more and for every 10, one of you goes free (that could be you if you organise it!).

Drinks policyYou may be allowed to take a drink into the auditorium, depending on where you sit and what

sort of event it is. If you have a drink to finish when the show starts, we’ll put it in a plastic

glass and you can finish it in the auditorium but can’t leave for a refill. If it’s a standing gig, you

can come and go freely. For safety, we never allow drinks in the balcony at the concert hall.

PS save queuing by pre-ordering interval drinks; just ask at the bar.

Musicals accommodation offersWe’re working with local hotels to offer ticket and accommodation packages. See www.horsecross.co.uk for participating hotels.
