Please Note: This event is now past.

The music and singing traditions of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Man are distinctive voices in the cultural tapestry of the island of Britain.

Drawing on oral traditions that are both historical and contemporary, this project explores the distinctive expressions and the shared sources of the cultural communities of these islands through artistic collaboration across different genres. Remembering the past, recognising the present, and sensing the future.

Radio Scotland's Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2006, Borders fiddler Shona Mooney appears tonight with her new six-woman band The Shee, comprising three lead vocalists with fiddles, flute, harp, mandolin and foot percussion, whose repertoire ranges from Gaelic songs to bluegrass tunes.
