“A fragment of a melody appears in your mind and only begins to reveal itself when tied to a person, a place, a smell and you’re back there in all its gloriousness. Details are gone but the important things still remain. A funny story if you’re lucky. An embarrassing incident if you’re less so. A smile, a taste, an accent”
The Hearth is Flautist/Guitarist Tom Oakes’ first solo show. Receiving rave reviews from it’s mammoth Edinburgh Fringe run and a place on the ‘Scots Trad Music Awards’ shortlist for ‘Best Original Work’ The Hearth is a unique and multi-layered blend of New and Traditional Music, Storytelling, Poetry and Sound Design taking us from the 19th Century Leeds Irish community to a sweaty festival dance floor with much in between.
Featuring original poetry by award winning Icelandic writer/director Kolbrun Bjort Sigfusdottir and voiced by the inimitable Dolina MacLennan.
