Event information

Re-Building a Nation is a spoken word and sound performance by poet and performer Martin O’Connor. Steeped in the industrial voice of his own Glaswegian Scots, he explores the personal relationship with voice, accent and dialect and unearths the words we lose when we leave the land for the city, the words we lose when a place is swept by deindustrialization, and the words we lose when we are disconnected from our cultural identity. Performed in Gaelic, Scots and English.

Martin has just been announced 'Scots Performer of the Year at the Scots Language Awards 2024.

O’ Connor is a masterful performer and writer, making his stories feel as warm and intimate as a friend down the pub; yet simultaneously theatrically rich and politically minded (Lorna Irvine)
