On Saturday 26^th March we are delighted to host a night of songs, stories, jokes and slides with folk and radio star JIMMIE MACGREGOR, once of the folk duo Robin Hall & Jimmie Macgregor, later star of Macgregor’s Gathering on BBC Radio, and a man of many other accomplishments.

Teaming up with Robin Hall in 1950s, Jimmie appeared five nights weekly on the BBC’s Tonight show – for four years! Hugely influential in the folk music revival, he toured the world appearing in countless venues from the Albert and Festival Halls, to the smallest folk clubs. With 20 albums to their credit, Jimmie and Robin Hall went on to host the White Heather Club and record the now legendary anthem single ‘Football Crazy’ (Decca Records 1960).

Latterly Jimmie has composed theme music for radio and hosted the long running double award winning show Macgregor’s Gathering as well as produce and present long distance walks for radio and TV in various parts of the world.  A fellow of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland and president of Rural Scotland, he was also awarded an MBE for services to Scottish Heritage and Culture.

Now touring a live show “Jimmie Macgregor’s Gathering of Songs, stories and famous folk” Jimmie talks about his life, the stories, songs and interviews with the likes of John Wayne and Tarzan. A relaxed and humorous show, visuals and music intersperse to create a truly special evening.

Doors open 7:30pm (bar from 5pm); start time 8:00pm, tickets £10 (under 18s £5) available now online at thebooth.co.uk and all our usual local outlets.
