The Boy and The Bunnet
Please Note: This is a past event.
Conceived as Scottish traditional music’s answer to Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, with the aim of introducing audiences to key instruments and their roles, and to Scotland’s languages, via vivid, character-driven narrative, The Boy and the Bunnet unites the formidable talents of Booker-nominated author James Robertson and pianist/composer James Ross. Robertson’s Scots text, narrated by Gerda Stevenson, spins a lively contemporary fairy-tale about a young boy’s adventures while lost in the woods, where he encounters an array of real and supernatural creatures, each characterfully conjured by Ross’s typically imaginative, lyrical score. Originally premiered in Aonghas MacNeacail’s Gaelic translation at the 2011 Blas festival, this inaugural Scots performance again features Ross with Corrina Hewat (harp and voice), Patsy Reid (fiddle), Neil Johnstone (cello), Angus Lyon (accordion) Fraser Fifield (pipes) and Signy Jakobsdottir (percussion).
