Eddi Reader
plus Eilidh Patterson
Singular. Moving. A powerful, genre-defying voice.
Eddi Reader has effortlessly become one of popular music’s most thrilling and affecting performers. The depth and quality of her performances plus her ability to move and connect with audiences sets her apart. No two performances are the same.
Eddi was first brought into the limelight as Fairground Attraction’s frontwoman. Their single, Perfect and parent album, First of a Million Kisses, both topped the British charts. But Eddi’s subsequent solo work proved she could extinguish genre boundaries and make them very much her own. Notably, The Songs of Robert Burns (2003), a timeless interpretation of Scotland’s national bard’s poems, earned her an MBE for outstanding contributions to the Arts.
With 10 critically acclaimed solo albums and 3 BRIT awards in tow, Eddi delights audiences worldwide. In 2022 she appeared as a special guest with the Jools Holland’s Rhythm & Blues Orchestra for an extensive UK tour.
