University of Edinburgh: A Folk Song Sharing

A small gathering of cross-generational artists exchange songs, stories and histories.

Celebrating 70 years of the School of Scottish Studies and Archives

An intimate intergenerational exchange of songs and their stories: three artists share their favourite songs, how they came to sing them, the story behind each song and how their interpretation evolved. Features performances from Nancy Nicolson (Scots song and story), Josie Duncan (Scots, Gaelic and original song) and Arthur Cormack (Gaelic song).
