Title: 'A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle' - Red Note
Description: Hugh MacDiarmid’s poem, with its infamously thrawn narrator, is set to music of huge imagination and vibrancy by Glasgow composer Bill Sweeney and performed by one of Scotland’s finest contemporary music ensembles, Red Note. This is a night of humour, inebriation, beauty, politically charged comment and wild musical and literary invention. Glasgow composer Bill Sweeney sets Hugh MacDiarmid's great poem to music of great imagination and vibrancy, to be performed by one of Scotland's finest contemporary music ensembles, Red Note. Written by MacDiarmid in 1926, the poem, with its infamously thrawn narrator, explores the state of Scotland, taking in politically charged comment, wild literary invention, humour, inebriation and lyrical beauty. With his background in the European avant-garde, and a love of traditional Scottish folk music and jazz, Sweeney is an ideal candidate to capture the many sides of MacDiarmid: modernist and traditionalist, nationalist and internationalist.

Title: 'Dead Man's Waltz' vs 'Injuns'
Description: The Dead Man's Waltz are four musicians from the Isle of Skye who are re-imagining their traditions into a style they call 'folk-noir'. Their music traces a path through the dance halls of Weimar Republic Germany, Kurt Weill and Hans Eisler, though Tom Waits and the Pogues to more recent acts such as Yann Tiersen and Beirut. Using song, storytelling and film, their music describes a weird arc of destruction and menace through the history of the last century. Theirs is a litany of small-town crimes and dark romances that is fascinating and irresistable. “The Dead Man’s Waltz find the common ground between the bleak tragedy of the island folk ballads and the more flamboyant execution of the European cabaret tradition.” The Scotsman

Title: 'The Flight of the Arctic Tern' - Mark Sheridan
Description: The Arctic Tern migrates farther than any other bird, leaving its breeding grounds in October to migrate to the other end of the world - to the southern pack ice of Antarctica and as far as Australia Alexander Gunn left his home in Durness in 1853 and found himself en route to Australia, one of the many tens of thousands of Scots who left these shores during the Highland Clearances. These journeys were long and hazardous and often ended in tragedy. 155 years later a letter turns up in Durness addressed to his family descendant, Iain Anderson, postmarked - Bendigo, Australia. This is the story of Alexander's journey narrated by Iain Anderson - with historical and environmental commentary from Michael Russell, MSP and Minister for Culture and Gaelic introductions from Hugh-Dan MacLennan. The piece also analogises the journey of the Arctic Terns from Scotland to the Antarctic and ultimately, Australia. The story maps their journey and highlights the decline in their status in the face of climate and environmental changes. A newly composed musical suite runs throughout the piece to illustrate and support the narrative. Written, composed and directed by Scottish composer and academic Mark Sheridan.

Title: Katheryn Joseph with Marcus Mackay in concert
Description: Kathryn Joseph’s debut album – bones you have thrown me and blood I’ve spilled – carried her from being one of Scotland’s best-kept secrets to winner of Scottish Album of the Year Award, within six months in 2015. An ethereal experience, her maiden record is lyrically compelling, sonically vivid and consistently moving. The record also features the talents of Scottish music industry veteran Marcus Mackay: his percussion and bass synth entwine seamlessly with the graceful force of Kathryn’s ship’s piano and beguiling vocals. Their on-record partnership offers an understated but truly emotive encounter; rare performances on the live circuit are renowned for their visceral, mesmeric qualities. “Opportunities to see such talented vocalists perform don’t come around often.” Anna Hinchcliffe, Metro “Armed with a small piano and a percussive maestro, she showcased the record in a jaw- dropping live performance.” Nicola Meighan, BBC Introducing “Kathryn Joseph has crafted one of the year’s most raw, unflinching and remarkable records.” Tom Johnson, THE SKINNY “One of my favourites of this year, for sure. Very special indeed.” Lauren Laverne, BBC Radio 6 Music “10 tracks make for one of the most emotionally raw records written by a Scottish songwriter.” Jonathan Rimmer, The National This event is part of the GET IN Tour GET IN, The Touring Network’s year-long Youth promoter project, provides young people aged between 16-26, who live in the Highlands & Islands, with the training, knowledge and expertise required to programme the live events they want to see in their communities.

Title: King Creosote
Description: King Creosote, one of our most beloved voices, returns for a 13 night solo Scottish tour with support from Hamish Hawk in March. Otherwise known as Kenny Anderson, Fife based electronic/acoustic folk demon King Creosote started his career as a musician as the singer/songwriter with Skuobhie Dubh Orchestra and Khartoum Heroes. If you build a fence then you have to treat it, as any DIY buff will tell you. You have to make it durable; to help it help us weather storms. Fife's Kenny Anderson realised this when forming micro-label, Fence, in 1994 – and so he treated it, then treated us, with an alt-pop alter-ego: King Creosote. Anderson has become of Scotland's most acclaimed and prolific, singer-songwriters: a squeezebox Casanova with a cosmic wordplay fetish, whose voice leaves gentle devastation in its wake. He was short-listed for 2011's Mercury Prize thanks to Diamond Mine, his sublime collaboration with Jon Hopkins. Other key LPs in the KC canon include Kenny and Beth's Musakal Boat Rides (2003), Rocket DIY (2005), KC Rules OK (2005) Bombshell (2007), Flick the Vs (2009) and his live-only album, My Nth Bit of Strange. In 2014, Anderson completed his first-ever film soundtrack for From Scotland With Love. The film weaves Scottish archive film footage with KC compositions. Creatively King Creosote continues to thrive and the Domino Recording Co released Kenny’s latest album - Astronaut Meets Appleman in September of 2016.
