£8.00 / £6.00
Violin: Gavin Marwick/Jonny Hardie

Words, music, dance and video combine to tell the moving story of this ordinary man caught by the murderous tides of the Second World War. Performed by one of Scotland's leading actors, two of Scotland's best traditional musicians and directed by the acclaimed Ben Harrison of Grid Iron.
A chance to see one of the outstanding productions from the 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe; winner Scotsman Fringe First; Holden Theatre Award, Adelaide, Australia and Stage Award for Best Solo Performer.
‘...a beautifully realized tale of the reality of survival in war-torn Eastern Europe...Matthew Zajac's moving performance is a triumph of evocative staging and storytelling...'

 The Auvo Quartet
Saturday 31 January
8.00pm
£8.00 / £6.00
The Auvo Quartet create an explosion of sound and texture which reverberates throughout their home cities of Newcastle and Helsinki.
Described as a ‘groove-machine'. The much anticipated return to Scotland of Tom Oakes (Flute), Suvi Oskala (Vocals, Fiddle), Julian Sutton (Melodeon) and Roope Aarnio (Guitars), sees a night of Finnish song and new composition coupled with deep traditional music resonances and an electric stage presence which few can rival.
"An album that in blending traditions emerges as something that previously didn't exist in either country and deserves to be lauded in both" fRoots
"a joy to listen to" Fiona Talkington - Songlines/BBC Radio 3
