O’Neal Library

Community Meeting Room

Join us for a real treat tonight!

Tonight we have a real treat thanks to our friends at the St. Andrews Society.

Jim Malcolm is one of the most outstanding talents to have emerged through the Scottish folk scene in years.

He is the ultimate Scots troubadour.

Traveling the world with his guitar, harmonicas, and engaging wit, he sings the traditional songs of Scotland and his own masterfully crafted songs in a style which is modern and accessible, yet utterly authentic.

He is highly regarded as an interpreter of the songs of Robert Burns, and has been described as “one of the finest singers in Scotland in any style”.

At home Jim spends a lot of time with his kids and fly fishing on the wonderful rivers and lochs of Perthshire.
He enjoys hunter‐gathering for the likes of geans (wild cherries), hazelnuts, wild garlic, blaeberries and wild gooseberries.

In the winters, which have become very snowy, he has been lately heading for Glenshee Ski Resort with a snowboard and a great deal of padding.

Ice is quite a hard landing.
