George Worthley and Carol Clark

Dressed in authentic Scottish tartans, George Worthley and his wife Carol Clark perform traditional, contemporary and original Scottish music. Each year, they delight thousands of people who come to hear them at Highland Games, Clan gatherings, ceilidhs, concert series and clubs. With his rich baritone voice, accompanied by guitar, George sings the songs of great Scottish Music Hall entertainers such as Sir Harry Lauder, Will Fyffe and Andy Stewart. George is also a gifted songwriter and brings to the stage songs of his Scottish ancestors and their descendants. Carol is a talented woodwind player who sparkles on reels and marches with her pennywhistle and electric pipes. She also accompanies George on bodhran, flute, keyboards and backup vocals.

George and Carol are veterans in the recording field, maintaining a project studio and operating American Thistle Records. They have four albums to their credit, "Plain Brown Wrapper" and "Scotch On the Rocks" both released in 1997, "Tartan Ball" (1996) and "I Want To Be In Scotland" (1995). Also available from American Thistle Records is "Tug" (1989), a collection of original New England folk songs that George wrote and performs with Lazy Mercedes.

George is a member of the Scottish Music Hall Society, which was founded in Sir Harry Lauder's birthplace, Portobello, Scotland. The Society exists to preserve and advance Scottish Music Hall, variety performers and artifacts past, present, and future. They promote lectures, displays and variety shows and through their efforts, a Harry Lauder commemorative plaque is being installed at the Portobello Town Hall. Together, the Worthleys share the Maine State Commissionership for Clan Farquharson USA and Clan Chattan Conferderation. They are active in the Saint Andrews Societies of Maine and New Hampshire. They are also avid tartan collectors, having over one hundred examples displayed in their home.
