Acclaimed song-writer and author James Yorkston joins forces with Nina Persson (The Cardigans) once more and return with a brand new set of songs, plus choices from their widely-praised 2023 album The Great White Sea Eagle.
‘Some of the most beautiful and moving music Yorkston’s made, which is high praise indeed’ – Allmusic
‘A work of real refinement, ‘The Great White Sea Eagle’ is peppered with jewels’ – Clash Music
‘It’s a beautiful, hand made collection of natural and unforced songs to be treasured’ – Under The Radar
Special guest is Faith Eliott. Faith Eliott is a songwriter and visual artist. Born in Minneapolis, they moved to Scotland nearly two decades ago. Through storytelling and world-building, they illustrate intuitive landscapes populated by hagfish, Pleistocene volcanoes, cursed memes, and late-Renaissance apocryphal monsters lurking in the aisles of Asda. Sonically, Eliott grounds themself in a stripped-back, lyric-driven songwriting approach that evolves through the recording process to incorporate orchestral elements – often contributed by frequent collaborator Robyn Dawson – along with electronic textures and found sounds. Their latest album Dryas was released on Lost Map Records on 30 May 2025. It follows two previous releases, Impossible Bodies (2019, OK Pal Records) and Insects (2016, Song, by Toad Records), both of which received critical acclaim, including coverage from The List and The Scotsman, as well as national radio play on BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction, and 6 Music.
AGE RESTRICTION: This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
PLEASE NOTE: The ticket price includes a £1.20 venue levy
