Barbara Dickson MBE * Mairi MacInnes * Siobhan Miller * Fiona Forbes * Anne Murray MBE * Mary Weatherston * Carol Prior * Mairearad Green * Dick Gaughan * Ian McCalman * Iain Anderson (narrator) * Ian Bruce * Stephen Quigg * Stevie Palmer * Professor Gary West * Brian Miller * George Archibald * Charlie Milne * Tom Ward * Allan Prior * Kenny MacDonald * John Blackwood * Jim Weatherston * Dennis Wilson * Gordon Stewart * Peter Heywood (overhead slide projection) * Norman Gore * Donald Hay.

A series of concerts around Scotland, sponsored by WW100 Scotland, Poppy Scotland, Legion Scotland and Creative Scotland was arranged for 2018 and Greentrax Recordings produced this DVD from the first of these concerts. The production has been presented in several venues across Scotland, including a sell-out return visit to Celtic Connections in the Glasgow Concert Hall.
The project arose out of the Greentrax double CD Far, Far From Ypres - Songs, Poems & Music Of World War One, however the DVD should not be regarded as simply a duplication of the double CD content, but as an independent production.
“A lengthy standing ovation ended an evening brilliantly presented with quite stunning singing. A very emotional concert but a really wonderful experience.”
“A standing ovation raised the roof for several minutes after the show had finished. It was a stirring end to a night that left the entire audience moved and sombre, but strangely elated.”
Please note that the format of this DVD is PAL only (not NTSC). Region-free (playable in all regions). More information here.
