about
Gordeanna McCulloch (1946 - 2019) is considered as one of Scotland's greatest Folk-song and Ballad-Singers who ranked up there with: Jeannie Robertson, Belle Stewart, Jimmy MacBeath, Davie Stewart, and Willie Scott, all of whom have passed into legend as bearers of tradition and national treasures. Gordeanna McCulloch was born in 1946, in Bellshill and attended Rutherglen Academy in 1958 as a Pupil at an opportune moment of her life. Inspired by the late Norman Buchan, who would release a book containing a compilation of 101 Scottish Songs in 1962 was a Teacher at the Acadamy while Gordeanna was attending there. At the time Gordeanna had arrived there, the Ballads Club which he had started was beginning to show its momentum. It would not take very long for Norman Buchan to take heed of Gordeanna's passion for Big Ballads and in 1961, following Buchan's recommendations, Gordeanna and her longtime Schoolmate and life-long friend Anne Nielson appeared on a BBC program hosted by Magnus Magnusson, to talk about and sing these songs. Not long afterwards Gordeanna, in 1965, was featured on an LP which included new voices from Scotland on a well-known Record Label at the time: Topic Records along with Norman Kennedy and the Exiles. She eventually met up with a group consisting of Librarians and Musicians, including Don Martin and Erlend Voy, and together they formed what would be called The Clutha. In 1978, Gordeanna McCulloch would release her first LP Album in her own Name, ent
