"Beautiful – dare one say spellbinding" The Scotsman

Rachel Newton (harp, vocals) and Lauren MacColl (fiddle) - Scots Trad Awards 'Composers of the Year' 2022. With guests Margaret Bennett (Gaelic song) and Morag Anderson (poetry). Two of Scotland’s foremost traditional musicians, Rachel Newton and Lauren MacColl, share musical tales inspired by and in remembrance of real women persecuted and tried as witches. With stories of traditions and beliefs from Shetland to the Solway, they explore characters from folk tales and mythology enshrined in our oral culture. This newly composed music, with accompanying visuals by Alison Piper, gives voice to the voiceless and brings past and present together.

We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.
