Returning to the Festival is Harry Bird, a modern-day troubadour whose captivating voice and acclaimed songwriting have won audiences across Europe and beyond. Combining storytelling, humour and infectious melodies that are uplifting and thought-provoking, his energetic, feel-good shows are not to be missed.
For this special festival appearance he will be joined by his band of foot stomping folkies, featuring Scottish-Australian bluegrass maestros Pepita Emmerichs and Theodore Barnard (Rain of Animals / Good Guy Hank) along with powerhouse Dundee songwriter Gavin McGinty (GAVIN / Sinderins) and globetrotting Scottish-Icelandic drummer Signy Jakobsdottir.
Playing music from his forthcoming album “Absurditties”, Harry Bird is a modern day troubadour, mixing “genius songwriting” (RnR Magazine, UK) with a voice that has captivated audiences all over Europe and beyond.
Joining him are Sunshine & The Silver Seams, the Scottish-based duo of Jyothi Nayar and Benjamin Haynes. Blending their own beautifully crafted songs with fresh interpretations of classics by artists such as Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, they bring a rich and engaging alternative folk sound.
Completing the line-up is local duo Hulliannah, featuring Hannah Taylor and Gulli Skatun. Their soulful, stripped-back folk and beautifully blended harmonies create an intimate and atmospheric listening experience.
