Master musician James Yorkston presents a club night featuring a selection of today’s finest performers of music.  Tonight’s line up is:

Brìghde Chaimbeul

Winner of the 2019 BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award, and 2016 BBC Radio 2 Young Folk award Scotland’s Brìghde Chaimbeul is making a mark on the global stage. A native Gaelic speaker, her style is rooted in her language and culture, but draws inspiration from a variety of global piping traditions such as from Eastern Europe, Cape Breton and Ireland.

“Simultaneously ancient and modern, profound and direct.” Folk Album of the Month – The Guardian

 “Exciting, unusual and gorgeous.” – Songlines

 “Pure, vital energy… exceptional playing.” – Folk Radio

Gruff Rhys

Inspired by Mount Paektu, “Seeking New Gods” (2021), the latest solo record from Gruff Rhys, sees the Super Furry Animals frontman mythologize a compelling sonic mountain of his own making.  “It’s still a biography of a mountain, but now it’s a Mount Paektu of the mind. You won’t learn much about the real mountain from listening to this record but you will feel something, hopefully.”- Gruff Rhys
