On the 12 of November 2011 Eddi Reader will be playing at the Queens Hall In Edinburgh on Clerk Street. For those of you who have never heard of her, Eddi Reader, the daughter Welder and the eldest of seven children, was born in Glasgow and spent her early life living in one of the slums of the city. She began to play the guitar at the age of ten and started her busking career in Glasgow and later Edinburgh.
She is a national treasure and it is hard to imagine that she was once a busker on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall street. For those of you who are old enough to remember, she was once the lead singer and songwriter of Fairground Attraction.
