Performed live @ Edinburgh Fringe !!
My poem, Steall Falls, was one of ten pieces of writing selected for a nationwide Lockdown project - 'Lochan Sketches' - for Scotland's Year of Coasts And Waters.
The imaginative idea: Each piece of writing was the inspiration for a 3-way collaboration between writer/ 'commissioner' (in this case, me); a professional composer (Suzanne Parry) and a performer (Joanna Stark) from Nevis Ensemble - a touring orchestra who normally play in quirky, hard to reach places, like on top of a mountain!
Beautiful result! Joanna Stark's spine-tingling performance on cello and vocals of Suzanne's wonderful and moving composition - sheer magic. I'm blown away.
Originally aired on BBC Radio Scotland in 2020 and performed live @ St John's Church @ Edinburgh Fringe, on 13th August 2022.
