Dick Gaughan was brought up immersed in the musical traditions and culture of the Gaels, both Scots and Irish, which naturally, therefore, provide the foundation for everything he does. Dick has been at the cutting edge of Scottish music for almost four decades. Guitarist, singer, songwriter, actor, musical director, composer, arranger, producer, engineer, he’s been there, done it. He is also well known for his forthright and long-time consistently held, oft-expressed political views.
Dick is honoured in the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame, and he received a Lifetime Achievement Award at BBC Radio 2′s annual Folk Awards Ceremony. Sponsored by Barfil Charitable Trust.
