Win signed Capercaillie CD's and tickets

Gaellic legends Capercaillie are coming to The Bridgewater Hall on November 1st 2007. And we're giving you the chance to win a pair of tickets to be there or alternatvely grab a signed copy of their brilliant 'Live In Concert' CD.

Featuring multi-talented award-winning Manchester flautist, Michael McGoldrick, and one of the finest Gaelic singers alive today, Karen Matheson, the band have drawn on two great strengths to inspire them. The musical dexterity of the fiddle, whistle, flute and pipe, lead by the accordion and keyboards of Donald Shaw. The other foundation of the band has been the peerless voice of Karen Matheson, described by Sean Connery as having "a throat that is surely touched by God". Karen’s exquisite voice has been at the centre of the band’s music, whether breathing new life into 400 year old Gaelic songs or bringing her luscious vocals to the band’s contemporary compositions..

Capercaillie have sold over a million albums worldwide, including three silver and one gold album in the UK, the first Gaelic Top 40 single, writing the music for, and appearing in the Hollywood movie 'Rob Roy', and performing in over thirty countries. Their unique fusion of Gaelic culture and contemporary sound has always stretched boundaries in their quest to keep the music evolving.
