Horsecross Theatre, Perth together with The Gordon Duncan Memorial Trust will present "A National Treasure III - A Celebration Of The Music Of Gordon Duncan"

The performance will take place on 26 September, 09, at 7:30 p.m. featuring The Treacherous Orchestra, Karen Matheson, Andy M Stewart, The Vale of Atholl Pipe Band, John McSherry and Francis McIlduff, Edelmiro Fernandez, Alexis Meunier, Iain MacLeod and Alex Duncan.

A National Treasure III once more brings together musicians from all over Scotland and well beyond to honour Pitlochry piper Gordon's massive influence and to raise funds for the Trust set up in his name.

This year's house band is the brilliant young Treacherous Orchestra, with four of their members premiering specially commissioned pieces. We're immensely pleased to welcome two of Scotland's greatest ever traditional singers as our special guests - Karen Matheson of Capercaillie and Perthshire's own Andy M Stewart, of Silly Wizard fame.

The superb Vale Of Atholl Pipe Band join us for the first time and the international piping lineup comprises the incendiary Irish duo of John McSherry and Francis McIlduff; the Galician Gordon Duncan, Edelmiro Fernandez; and Alexis Meunier, the Breton winner of the Gordon Duncan Memorial competition at Celtic Connections earlier this year. -- www.horsecross.co.uk
