Award-winning Irish songstress Christine Tobin will be performing in Linlithgow this weekend following the release of her new album.

The Dublin-born star will be live in concert at St Peter’s Church on Friday, December 1 and singing songs from her LP Returning Weather.

First coming to national attention with the Celtic-jazz group Lammas, where she sang alongside the Dundee-born poet and guitarist Don Paterson, Christine released her first album under her own name, Aililiu, in 1995.

Christine will be appearing in Linlithgow with her partner, guitarist Phil Robson, who has worked with Barbra Streisand, Dame Cleo Laine and former James Brown saxophonist Maceo Parker.

“It's nearly 10 years since I last sang in Scotland," said Christine. "I'm particularly looking forward to playing in St Peter’s Church because I've heard a lot of great things about it from musician-friends who have been there.”
