The Clutha
Scottish folk group
Gordeanna McCulloch from Glasgow went to the school where Norman Buchan ran his famous Ballads Club, and shortly afterwards she travelled to London to attend Ewan MacColl's class of singers. Gordeanna also had an early spell singing with The Clydesiders, and more recently she has been involved with Palaver and Glasgow's Euridice Choir.
The Clutha formed in about 1964 and performed for at least ten years. They won the Peter Cooke Cup for Scots ceilidh bands three years in a row (1971-73). The band added piper Jimmy Anderson shortly after recording their Scots Ballads... LP. Any more information about the group would be gratefully received: email me. Some of The Clutha's recorded output is detailed below.
