Eddi Reader MBE (born 28 August 1959) is a Scottish singer, known both for her work with Fairground Attraction and for an enduring solo career, which in 2003 saw her showcase the works of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns.
Halfway through a song she’ll step away from the microphone and play an air violin that only she can hear through the sounds of her band’s accordion, ukulele and guitar.
The band's ubiquitous song Perfect was a favourite of housewives and advertising executives a fact that never did quite sit with Reader's past in a rough district of Glasgow and as backing vocalist with left-wing guitar firebrands the Gang of Four.
