Join local indie songwriter Hamish Hawk in a rare, lyrical homage to Scotland’s pre-eminent poet-eccentric: Ivor Cutler. A celebration of Cutler’s dreich spoken-word masterpiece, Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Hawk presents new stories and songs inspired by his own childhood home in Edinburgh, alongside unique reworkings of Cutler’s original works. Joined by friends and armed with Cutler’s original harmonium, this performance – a special Book Festival commission – promises an evening of wit, warmth, and words, sure to make fans of the uninitiated. Introduced by Nicola Meighan.
Note: This performance will also take place on Sunday 17 August at 21:00.
