Scottish folk artist Sam Shackleton brings transatlantic tunes and authentic folk storytelling to the stage at Saint Luke's.
Sam Shackleton plays Saint Luke's on Tuesday 16 December, a mid-week night in Glasgow's East End. He's a Scottish folk artist, and the set brings together transatlantic tunes and folk storytelling. If you've come across him online, you'll know him for his viral videos, but this is the live thing.
The music sits in that folk tradition of taking songs from across the Atlantic and working them into a set that's as much about the stories as the tunes. Shackleton describes his approach as authentic folk storytelling, and that's exactly what he'll be doing on the night: playing the songs and telling the tales that go with them. It's the kind of gig where the talking is as much a part of the evening as the music, and the two feed into each other.

The show is presented by Regular Music at Saint Luke's, the former church in the East End. It's a Tuesday night, so it's a mid-week one rather than a weekend slot. There's an age restriction of 14+, and under-16s are admitted only with an adult.
