Blairdardie
THE GARDEN
5:00 – 5:45PM
Blairdardie, singer and 12-string guitarist William (Monty) Monteith’s childhood home, inspired this Scottish duo now based in Melbourne. Monty’s songwriting, reminiscent of Scozzie Eric Bogle, evokes a deep connection to the homeland. His vocals, warm and enchanting, weave tales of yearning. Teaming up with Derek MacCallum (Delbhoy), a bluesy folk singer/guitarist, the duo harmoniously blends traditional Celtic folk with contemporary Folk N Roll. Their performances take audiences on a journey through new compositions and well-known favourites. These two larrikins promise to warm the cockles of hearts with their heartfelt music, appealing to listeners young and young at heart.
