This very special evening, inspired by the music of Alasdair Roberts, celebrates three of the finest folk voices around.

Glasgow based musician Alasdair Roberts is in high demand, from collaborations with folk musicians Bonny ‘Prince’ Billy and Isobel Campbell to shows with Joanna Newsom and Smog. Deeply rooted in the traditional ballads of his homeland, his music is unexpected and unadorned, with his fine free-flying voice at its heart.

Singer, writer and concertina player Emily Portman’s 2010 debut album The Glamourygained her two BBC Folk Award nominations and a reputation for a lark-like voice and original, harmony-rich narratives, inspired by the darker underbelly of folklore and balladry.

Guitarist and singer Kris Drever is best known as one-third of multiple Folk Award winning group Lau. Here, his rich, warmly lived in voice goes solo, bringing to life traditional ballads and the songs of his contemporaries.
