Eddi Reader

Celebrating over 40 years as a live performer, singer-songwriter Eddi Reader shares stories and memories from her musical life.

Eddi Reader is one of Scotland鈥檚 best-loved vocalists. It鈥檚 a career that has seen her go from a session singer in London with artists including Eurythmics, Alison Moyet and the Waterboys, to the songs of Robert Burns, and to the top of the charts with Fairground Attraction. In conversation with Ricky Ross, Eddi reveals why Fairground Attraction鈥檚 life as a band was anything but perfect and explains where her love of traditional and folk music grew from.
