Various locations
Showcasing musicians either from, or based in Scotland, the 5-day music festival runs over St Andrews and includes some of Scotland’s finest jazz and traditional musicians. Also featured will be emerging new musicians, music workshops for adults and young people, a silent film accompanied by live music, and live performance poetry.
Headliners include award-winning pianist Fergus McCreadie; rising star Megan Black whose music has been described as 70s blues rock meets queer feminist pop, and Callum Easter & the Roulettes, fresh from touring the USA.
The festival will also present a new collaboration between outgoing Edinburgh Makar Hannah Lavery and acclaimed composer Kate Young. This one hour show will be based on Lavery’s work Unwritten Women with a new score by Young.
The festival’s programme also includes some early evening concerts, including Gaelic singer songwriter Rachel Walker performing with one of the country’s foremost folksingers and accompanists, Aaron Jones; Edinburgh-based poetic psychedelic supergroup Acolyte; and singer Nicole Smit performing some cool jazzy numbers with her Quintet.
Performances take place at either the Traverse Theatre or Queen’s Hall.
