Nazareth Robert the Bruce Concert
To mark the 700th anniversary of the Crowning of King Robert the Bruce, Dunfermline Heritage Trust has organised a concert in the Carnegie Hall on Saturday 23rd September featuring Nazareth and fiddler Pete Clark.
One of Scotland’s top fiddlers, Dunfermline born Pete Clark will be writing a specially commissioned tune on Bruce specifically for this occasion. He will be joined on stage by local rock legends Nazareth who will be playing the first part of the concert acoustically before going on to raise the roof in the second half with some of their trade mark hits specially selected for a home audience.
Tickets for this unique crossover concert sold out within days of going on sale. In order to satisfy the demand for tickets Nazareth and Pete Clark have agreed to put on an extra night on Sunday 24th September. However fans are urged to snap up their tickets soon as Carnegie Hall manager Evan Henderson expects this concert to attract another ‘House Full’ sign. Fans have bought tickets from as far afield as Canada and New York.
Explaining the reason behind adding another date, Pete Agnew said: “We have a lot of European fans and people travel form abroad to see us. We were in Switzerland at the weekend and many fans there had already booked their flight to Scotland for the concert without having a ticket in the hope that they would get one over here”
Pete is eagerly looking forward to the two concerts:
“Performing in Dunfermline is a bit different because when you look at the audience you realise that you know everyone’s first name and it’s kind of like playing at a party. We really love playing here but we never get the chance to do it much, so we’re looking forward to it. The band hasn’t played in the hall since 1973 so it will be really nice to come home”
Tickets for the concert priced £15 can be booked by telephoning Carnegie Hall on 01383314000.
