Hamish MacDonald and Liza Mullholland Combining guitar and piano, Hamish and Liza offer a range of self-penned and traditional songs in an upbeat and thought-provoking set, including a selection from their show 'The Not So Serious Burns Unit' which featured as part of Edinburgh Folk Club's Fringe 2025 programme; being a mix of bittersweet, comedic and satirical songs from the pen of and influenced by Robert Burns (who is, after all not just for January). Occasional (short) outbursts of poetry may feature, along with encouragement to sing along to some of the more familiar fare from the folk tradition. Both weel-kent faces on the local and wider scene, Hamish is a songwriter and former Scottish National Slam Poetry champion who has appeared on stages from Portree to Rio and whose songs have featured on BBC Scotland's Travellin Folk and BBC Wales' Celtic Heartbeat. He is also the former Robert Burns Writing Fellow for Dumfries and Galloway Arts Association (2003-05) and Scots Scriever at the National Library of Scotland (2015-17). Songwriter/musician Liza is co-creator and performer/producer of 5 star touring show Metagama, a founder of and performer with acclaimed vocal/instrumental combo Dorec-a-belle, and is a writer/performer with Edge of the World Cabaret who further collaborates with many aritstes on diverse and cross-artform Projects. Expect a guid night oot!

2nd December

The songs of Northumbrian folk alchemists, The Brothers Gillespie (James and Sam Gillespie) are animated by lyrical poetry, fluid fingerstyle guitar, multi-instrumental musicianship and 'the glorious tones of their blood harmony' (Sam Lee). Theirs is a music of encounter, of lark song and crow call, ash leaves and hidden ways, rooted in the earth and arising most strongly for them when they are out walking in the borderlands with their packs and instruments. Bringing together visionary mythopoetics with a deeply radical spirit, the brothers tread an older path whilst singing with fierce tenderness to the present time in all its grief and luminosity. Their live performances are known for their intimacy and the spontaneous ways they weave tales around the songs and invite audiences into the heart of the music. The brothers have travelled far and wide with their music and have played Cambridge, Sidmouth and Moseley Folk Festivals and opened for Lankum and Sam Lee. In Spring 2022 they released 'The Merciful Road' ('pure magic', Living Tradition), inspired by the grace of life in troubled times and recorded in a cottage by the banks of the river Tweed. Like their previous album 'The Fell', it blends rootsy, acoustic elements to create a rich warm sound with a touch of vintage magic. 2024 saw them release the collaborative album 'Hirondelle' (featuring string ensemble Trio Mythos and Occitanie vocal group Tant Que Li Siam) and they are currently touring throughout the UK and getting ready to record a new album for release in October 2026.
