FRI 6 MAR, 8PM

£15/£13 MEMBERS & CONC.

A 2020 finalist in the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year, Pàdruig’s music is deeply rooted in his inherited Gaelic oral tradition.

Performing regularly with his band BeinnLee, his music is a powerful, innovative voice connecting his Gaelic heritage with new compositional horizons.

His debut solo album Buin (title meaning ‘belong) – released 25.01.26 – is a culmination of years of tunewriting, songwriting and deep reflection on our relationship to land, place, culture, and the Gaelic language.

Pàdruig will share new and enchanting Gaelic songs sung by Mischa and Alasdair alongside a wide range of new tunes alongside Rory Matheson and Micheal Steele.

Acclaimed accordionist and composer from Grimsay in the North Uist, PàdruigMorrison presents his debut solo album, Buin, along with Mischa MacPherson, AlasdairWhyte, RoryMatheson, and Micheal Steele. 5

A collaboration between multidisciplinary performance artist Freya Pellie and space scientist turned filmmaker Dr Jonathan Doyle, Calanais: Still in Motion is the output of the inaugural Calanais Residency. Commissioned to capture the significance of the Calanais Standing Stones during the major Lunar Standstill in June 2025, Calanais: Still in Motion is an intersection of science and folklore. Informed by the sites themselves, social observations, conversations with those met along the way, and research across fields, the work centres around Calanais as a gathering place through the ages drawing people from near and far, each with

Rather than seeking to capture the stones alone, as one might hope for in a visiting photograph, the work focuses on the human element of such sites, both serving as a reminder of and encouraging curiosity in the people that built them, used them, and continue to draw inspiration from them. This collection is comprised of a short film and poem, as well as a series of photographic images which capture some of the themes explored in the residency and the stories found along the way.
