The annual classic The Christmas Songbook returns to Queen’s Hall next month with accordion player Phil Cunningham leading the festive sparkle.
There are three performances on 20, 21 and 22 December in the 19 year long tradition of well known musicians performing contemporary and traditional Christmas tunes. Joining Phil on stage is a stellar lineup of some of Scotland’s most celebrated musicians, including the incomparable Eddi Reader, the soulful Karen Matheson, multi-instrumental maestro John McCusker, Orcadian roots sensation Kris Drever, guitar virtuoso Ian Carr, and the ever-versatile double bassist Kevin McGuire.
Phil Cunningham said: “The Christmas Songbook is my favourite time of year. It’s a chance to bring people together, share music, laughter and a little festive magic. From contemporary carols and tunes to a mix of classics, we’ll be bringing the Christmas cheer in spades to Edinburgh and can’t wait to see the smiles on faces and hear people singing along. It’s a privilege to share the stage with such incredible musicians and to celebrate the season with audiences at The Queen’s Hall.”
Phil Cunningham’s Christmas Songbook takes place across Scotland, 13 – 22 December 2025.Tickets available now at: philcunningham.com/live-shows
