Tidelines Goes Trad
Thursday 26 September
Harbour Arts Centre
7.30-9.30pm
£10/£8
Following the sell-out success of our trad music opening
night in 2018, Tidelines brings you a very special evening of
foot-stomping, heart-swelling music in Gaelic and Scots, to
celebrate the opening of Tidelines Book Festival 2019. With
a line-up created especially for us by Scots Trad Awards ‘Instrumentalist of the Year’, Gary
Innes, and featuring Ewen Henderson - lead singer with Scottish super-group Manran - this is
a night not to be missed.
Às dèidh oidhche cheòlach air leth soirbheachail aig toiseach fèis nan leabhraichean an-uiridh, bidh cothrom
agaibh pàirt a ghabhail ann am feasgar sònraichte is gluasadach aig toiseach Tidelines Book Festival 2019, far
am bi tòrr ciùil Ghàidhlig is Albannach. Tha Gary Innes, a bhuannaich ‘Instrumentalist of the Year’ aig Na Trads,
air na ceòladairean a chur air chois air ar son. A bharrachd air sin, bidh Ewen Henderson, seinneadair le
Mànran, am measg nan cluicheadairean. Dèanaibh cinnteach gum bi sibh ann!

Overlander
A Bikepacking Pilgrimage
Friday 27 September
Harbour Arts Centre
6.30-7.30pm
£6
Seeking a temporary escape from city life and a mad
modern world, Director of Bike Station, Alan Brown,
undertakes an epic coast-to-coast trip through the wild
and lonely interior of the Highlands. ‘Overlander cheerfully
debunks much of the off-putting preciousness of the
hardcore cycling fraternity to return cross country cycling
to what it should be - a slightly planned but mostly
spontaneous and giddily exciting way to rediscover
Scotland’ (Lesley Riddoch)
