A forward-thinking night of Scottish music and cinema

Donald WG Lindsay is one of the most distinctive and influential figures in contemporary folk, celebrated as a master piper and pioneering instrument designer. Best known as creator of the ‘Lindsay System’ chanter — extending smallpipes close to three octaves without keys — he now brings that sound into dialogue with film.

In two halves, Lindsay performs live with leading Glasgow improvisers to accompany his short films How’ve You Been? and Outwith. The first reflects on years of isolation and return from the remote island of Ascension; the second lets the pipes drift beyond place and tradition, opening a world of spontaneous sound and image. Expect an evening of deep feeling, bold craft, and the meeting of music and memory at their most human.
