JAMES YORKSTON is a singer / songwriter in the best folksy tradition,
weaving together a seemingly effortless mix of sweet melodies, haunting
lyrics, irrelevant humour and the odd blast of harmonica. Tonight sees
James play a solo set bringing on various guests throughout the evening.
"Yorkston entrances and beguiles - finger-picked guitar, accordion,
mandolin, whistles, pipes and sampled sounds all build into a
breath-on-glass blur of love and swoon." (Mojo)
"its lovely, understated melodies, autumnal arrangements and warm, wry lyrics" The Guardian
As a member of Fife-based Fence Collective, PICTISH TRAIL has spent a
good proportion of his year performing alongside fellow Fence
compatriots King Creosote and others. However tonight he plays a set of
his own tunes as he blends seemingly simple structures with intricate
melodies of psychedelia-inflected folk, performed with warmth and a
touch of irony. Think of an acoustic Beta Band jamming with The
Beatles with a touch of The Beach Boys magic!
