There music will be curated around the theme of improvisation with artist and composer Hanna Tuulikki performing parts of her multimedia project ‘Air Falbh Leis na h-Eòin’, which "explores the relationship between the Scottish Gaelic tradition and bird communities, and imitation of birdsong within Gaelic folk song in particular" in collaboration with Lucy Duncombe and Nerea Bello and a performance by free-jazz vocalist Maggie Nicols and and Peter Urpeth, specially commissioned for the event.
