Returnin tae BLETHER an bringin us some Scots festive cheer is the wonderfu musician Lynne Campbell ✨🎄

A wee bit aboot Lynne 💚❤️

Growing up in a tiny wee village in rural Angus, where the main landmark was an ancient Pictish stone in a ruined churchyard is one of the best starts for a young Scot interested in history, legend and stories. Couple that with coming from a family of bagpipers, moothie players, and singers, and it’s no surprise that Lynne Campbell has absorbed all of those influences to become a heritage performer who not only sings traditional Scottish songs, but anchors them in context, tells their stories, and works with communities who want to explore the themes within the Scots tradition. She's performed shows on HMS Unicorn, at the Wighton Centre in Dundee, at Verdant Works, and is a regular performer at the Gin Bothy in Glamis, and has written shows and performed at Dundee and Edinburgh Fringes. She loves nothing more than to share Scotland's songs and stories.

We're buzzin- Saturday 7th December at 7pm at tickets £10.00 🍄☃️❄️

24/11/2024

Stones mark time across seasons and centuries, hold the spirits of transformed creatures, and only sometimes use all this ancient wisdom to mess with our minds...

Join me on Thursday 12 December at Sweet Venues at the Keiller Centre for tales of standing stones and sacred landscapes from Angus and Orkney, and trust that the light will return...
