St Andrew's Night - Whisky Tasting - Hurricane Sandy Benefit
Whisky Tasting Description
Calling all whisky fans - enjoy St Andrew's Night with some of the finest single malt whiskies and live Bluegrass music! The informal whisky tasting event will take place at Summerhall - Edinburgh's buzzing creative hub for the arts. The ticket price includes whisky, oatcakes and smoked salmon. At the door you will receive a warm welcome, whisky glass and tasting notes.
Live music will be provided by Mairi Orr and her band who offer foot-tapping bluegrass and Americana with a Scottish twist. The line-up is 5-string banjo, dobro, mandolin, guitar and double bass.
"Mairi Or is blessed with one of those perfect crystal clear voices that perfectly suits carefully crafted roots music. . " Jonathan Aird, Americana UK
The evening supports pipe bands in the USA worst hit by Hurricane Sandy. There are over 120 pipe bands in New York and New Jersey. Many band members have lost instruments and kit. Our aim is to send over 6-8 brand new bagpipes to replace those destroyed. Each pipe band who receives a new set of bagpipes will be listed on Pipefest.com, Tartanweek.com and Whisky-drinker.com alongside the fundraising total of this event.
