Eastgate Theatre, Peebles
Prof. David Purdie (speaker)
Robyn Stapleton (singer)
Alistair Iain Paterson (piano)
A celebration of the traditional song heritage of Scotland, with historical background from David Purdie and songs (a cappella and with piano accompaniment) from Robyn Stapleton to trace the history of Scotland through its songs—of peace and war, ballads from Border straths and Highland glens, and songs of men and women: the Meeting, the Loving and the Parting.
Scotland’s dramatic history is illuminated by story and folksong. Singer Robyn Stapleton, a BBC traditional musician of the year and historian Professor David Purdie present a national story, reflecting the unique musical heritage of the people. The history and the songs are accompanied by glorious images from the National Records of Scotland and the music of pianist Alistair Iain Paterson.
“Robyn Stapleton has a charmingly unassuming stage presence which blended beautifully with some stunning singing” (Daily Record)
