Eddi Reader

A welcome return to The Fire Station for the inimitable Scottish singer Eddi Reader.

Eddi Reader has effortlessly developed into one of popular music’s most thrilling and affecting performers. What sets Eddi apart is the depth and quality of her emotional performances and the ability to not only move the listener, but connect her experience to that of her audience.

No two performances are ever the same. Though first brought into the limelight as front woman for Fairground Attraction - whose song 'Perfect' and parent album, 'First of a Million Kisses', both topped the British charts, it was Eddi’s subsequent solo albums that signaled her ability to assimilate different musical styles and make them very much her own.

Notably, 'The Songs of Robert Burns' (2003) is a timeless interpretation, showcasing the poems of Scotland’s national bard. From the traditional to the contemporary, Eddi Reader extinguishes the preordained boundaries of genre, bringing joyous life to all forms of song. Her rare blend of meltingly true vocals and towering romanticism combine with an astute and pragmatic nature to make her a unique and powerful figure in contemporary British music.

With 10 critically-acclaimed solo albums, three BRIT awards, a #1 single and an MBE in tow, Eddi continues to delight audiences worldwide.
