BBC Radio Scotland - The Quay Sessions, Gilbert O'Sullivan and Jon Allen

Gilbert O'Sullivan and British soul singer Jon Allen play live.

A night of British songwriting talent as the legendary Gilbert O'Sullivan and soul singer Jon Allen play live. 

With a musical career spanning five decades, Gilbert O'Sullivan will play a stripped back set from his extensive songbook which includes 70s hits Get Down and Alone Again (Naturally). Recognised as one of our great singer-songwriters, he's been championed in recent years by everyone from Morrissey to Paul Weller, from Difford & Tilbrook to Neil Diamond. His new album has been produced by the great Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Laura Marling) and features contributions from Andy Fairweather Low and Chas Hodges.

Jon Allen will be showcasing songs from his latest album, Blue Flame, on which his love of Muscle Shoals, Al Green and Willie Mitchell shines through. The acclaimed singer-songwriter was discovered by Mark Knopfler and has toured with him as well as Emmylou Harris and Seal.
