Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham
The performance due to take place at The Glasshouse on Sunday 6 April 2025 has been cancelled.
We’re gutted to tell you that Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham’s show at The Glasshouse on Sunday 6 April isn’t taking place anymore. We’re really sorry for any inconvenience. If you booked tickets to this show, we’ll be in touch about giving you a refund.
As you can imagine, Aly and Phil are also very sad about the show being cancelled. A message from Aly:
“To whom it may concern, sorry to say I have developed a Ganglion Cyst on the middle joint of the finger of my left hand making it painful and difficult to perform. These Cysts can seemingly appear for no reason. I deeply apologise for any inconvenience this will cause you especially during these difficult times. My doctor thinks I will probably need surgery which will take some time to arrange.
Yours sincerely, Aly Bain.”
Revered. Traditional. Blended like a fine Scotch whisky.
Having toured together since 1986 to packed concert halls all over the world, Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham have won the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards – Best Duo Award and been nominated in the Scottish Traditional Music Awards for ’Live Act of the Year’
Aly was a founder member of the ‘Boys of the Lough’ and his passionate fiddle playing has also found its way onto recordings by the likes of Eddi Reader and Richard Thompson. He was responsible for launching ‘The Transatlantic Sessions’ TV series in which both he and Phil continue to feature.
