Eddi Reader

24th October 2026
Howard Assembly Room

With more than forty years in the industry, Eddi Reader brings her genre-spanning sound to the Howard Assembly Room – a performance that moves between traditional Scottish folk, pop, soul, and jazz.

First coming to prominence as the frontwoman of Fairground Attraction with the chart-topping ‘Perfect’, Reader has since established a prolific solo career. Her work is defined by an ability to reinterpret a wide range of material while maintaining a distinctive and heartfelt voice. Across ten solo albums, she has explored diverse musical territories – from her deep-rooted connection to Scottish folk to contemporary singer-songwriter styles.

Her recent schedule has included an extensive “40 Years Live” tour and guest appearances with Jools Holland’s Rhythm & Blues Orchestra. Beyond her musical output, Reader has also worked as an actress, appearing in BBC Scotland’s Your Cheatin’ Heart and Richard Linklater’s Orson & Me.

The Sunday Times has previously noted that “Eddi Reader gets every song just right”, while R2 Magazine has described her live work as “world class”.
