The first part of the evening will be dedicated to music, with Scottish fiddle player Ryan Young performing live for audiences.

Young is one of a 'new wave' of young players bringing fresh ideas to traditional music and is a two time BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award nominee, Celtic Connections Danny Kyle Award winner and was as a finalist in BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician 2015 and 2016.

His performance will be followed by a ceilidh led by the Reel Hot Ceilidh Peppers.

The bar will be brimming with Scottish drinks and even the raffle will fit the Highland theme.

A spokesman from Lichfield Arts, said: "This will be a great evening for anyone with an interest in Scottish music and tradition, celebrating the life and work of one the most iconic Scottish poets and writers, whilst also having a great time listening to some musicians, and dancing the night away.

"If you have never been to a Ceilidh, this will be a great opportunity for you to try something new."

The concert will be held on Saturday, January 25 at Lichfield Guildhall, with doors opening at 7.30pm.

Tickets are available at the box office or online.
