Hoolie in the Hydro
Scotland’s biggest night of traditional music will celebrate Glasgow comedy and folk music legend Sir Billy Connolly in larger-than-life style. Hoolie in the Hydro: The Big Yin will take place in the city’s biggest venue on Saturday 13th December, as a ‘windswept and interesting’ cast of musicians pay tribute to Billy, his humour and his love and affinity for folk music.
With a star-studded bill for the Billy tribute to be announced, the line up of singers will play their part in marking 60 years since Sir Billy formed the beloved Humblebums and pay tribute to one of Glasgow’s most iconic sons as the city celebrates its 850th birthday.
The tribute will form the finale of the event, following a stellar line up from across Scotland’s vibrant folk and traditional music scene, including Elephant Sessions with their progressive blend of trad, funk and electronica, explosive six-piece Trail West, renowned supergroup Mànran, and the compelling Beluga Lagoon.
