This year sees Aly and Phil mark many milestones. This will be their 30th year of working together, Aly turned 70 (hard to believe!) in May and Phil also celebrates 40 years as a professional musician.

To celebrate, they plan some surprises on their annual trip round Scotland including a nostalgic backdrop of images from all those years, and with the release of a new album.

Aly and Phil will be appearing at the Corn Exchange, Melrose on Friday August 12 at 7.45pm.

Tickets cost £20 (including booking fee), and are available from Border Events at www.borderevents.com or by calling 01750 725480.

Probably the best folk musicians you’ll ever see.
