Poster Design Brief

I need a poster designed for a Scottish band called the Tannahill Weavers. They tour in the UK, Europe and North America. This poster needs to work well all the way from A5 as a flyer to A2 poster. The demographic is generally between ages 35 to 65 at our concerts.

A possible idea is artwork that pictures a stage waiting for the band to come on, a mike stand with a vocal mike on it (maybe three if it would work as they do three part vocal harmonies), and instruments on stands on the stage. Instruments: acoustic guitar, fiddle, bagpipes, flute, whistles, bodhran (round hand-held drum). Don't need all of these but certainly guitar, fiddle, bagpipes.

(This is just one idea, I am open to any suggestions that are colourful and emphasize Celtic music.)

I would like something with warm rich colours, and am very partial to the style of Chris Wormell's Adnams artwork.

Text on the poster:
Scotland's Tannahill Weavers
Scottish traditional music at its best
2011 Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame (wee print)
www.tannahillweavers.com (maybe a QR code)

Needs a space at the bottom for overprinting.

I should say that I am not looking for realistic pictures of the instruments, but artwork of instruments.

Also I realise that in my empty stage scenario, the bagpipes present a problem in that they don't have a stand the way a guitar does.  To deal with this, we could add to the stage a piper off to one side.  This would not be a piper wearing a kilt - it would be the silhouette of a man in jeans playing the bagpipes.  I see the whole stage scene in silhouette, sort of shadowy smoky with a couple of beams of stage lights coming down.
