SUMMARY:Storytelling event "The People of the Sea"
DESCRIPTION:Also showing at the Barn\, Banchory.   \n“Step into a magical world where music\, myth and memory are intertwined. Inspired by David Thomson’s classic book from 1954\, The People of the Sea is a spellbinding performance. Storytellers and musicians Ruth Kirkpatrick (N.E Scotland) and Colin Urwin (N. Ireland) weave melodies\, gentle humour and subtle gravitas these stories\, bringing to life some of the haunting seal and selkie lore gathered by Thompson from the coasts of Scotland and Ireland eighty years ago. \nAcclaimed by the sell-out audiences at the Scottish International Storytelling Festival\, The People of the Sea blends traditional folklore with more contemporary music exploring themes of love\, loss\, and the balance of nature. It is a homage to voices from the past\, an exploration of ancient beliefs \,and a celebration of our enduring fascination and relationship with the sea. Above all it is a moving and memorable experience for all who love laughter\, song and good stories well told.” \nColin Urwin: \nColin Urwin has been described as a modern-day Seanachaí. He is a folk singer\, songwriter\, storyteller and recording artist. He regularly appears at events and festivals all over Ireland and much further afield.  \nAs well as his beautifully woven\, self-penned stories drawn from the local legend and folklore of his beloved Glens of Antrim\, Colin tells many traditional Irish and Scottish folk tales.  \nHe has released an album of original songs\, A Kind of Love Song. He has also produced three albums of magical stories entitled The Madman’s Window\, The Swan Maiden and The Last Wolf. His first book of folk tales is due for publication with Orkneyology Press in early 2023. \nColin is Storyteller in Residence with The Waterways Community\, a Northern Ireland based charity. \nRuth Kirkpatrick: \nBorn in the North East of Scotland\, Ruth is widely seen as a Tradition Bearer\, having been lucky enough to ‘sit at the knee’ of some of the great storytellers which Scotland has borne- Sheila Stewart\, Duncan Williamson\, Stanley Robertson and David Campbell. She has a broad repertoire of stories and songs from Traditional and local Traveller sources. More recently she has experimented with biographical storytelling\, and annually performs a sell-out show about the life\, songs and poetry of Robbie Burns. \nHer real strength is in forming a warm\, authentic rapport with her audience\, respecting the tradition and giving her performance a loving\, feisty sparkle. This makes her a popular guest at Festivals worldwide\, including Iceland\, England\, Singapore\, Belgium\, Dubai\, Ireland and India. She was awarded the Commission at Festival at the Edge in 2017 where she successfully created a ‘one woman’ show.

SUMMARY:JKL Duo
DESCRIPTION:From Chamber Music Scotland’s website (https://www.chambermusicscotland.com/directory/jkl-duo) \nInstrumentation\n\nJacopo Lazzaretti – Classical Guitar\nKerry Lynch – Flute\n\nRepertoire\nThe JKL DUO’s repertoire ranges from Early to Contemporary music\, containing many of the most valuable works from the Flute and Guitar repertoire. \nSince the start of 2022\, they have been touring Scotland with their project ‘The International Poet’\, which features new music commissioned especially for them from some of the most celebrated works by Robert Burns by contemporary composers from around the world. Here they have imagined what Scotland’s beloved Bard could potentially have created\, should he have been alive today in a world where physical distance is no longer the obstacle it once was to communication\, collaboration and creation. \nBiography\nThe JKL DUO\, comprised of Jacopo Lazzaretti and Kerry Lynch\, play music straight from the heart\, using the Flute and Classical Guitar to speak to listeners all across the world. The duo released their debut album ‘The International Poet’ in 2023 and have been touring it extensively in concert series and festivals within Scottish cities such as Glasgow\, Edinburgh\, Perth\, Dundee\, Isle of Skye\, being described as ‘Simply stunning’ (Skye Chamber Music). The CD has been broadcast in Scotland\, was awarded ‘Album of the Week’ at Celtic Music Radio\, and in August 2023 the duo went to Rome to present it on Luigi Picardi’s show L’Arpeggio’ for Vatican Radio. Kate Calder (Edinburgh Music Review) described it as ‘a stimulating and thought-provoking take on the music found by Robert Burns’\, and Canadian guitarist Michael Ibsen said ‘To see such a unique\, well-executed\, and fresh concept for a chamber music album is a rare delight\, and the world is all the richer for JKL DUO’s cheek in attempting such a project’. In addition to performing concerts\, the duo also regularly play at corporate events and functions\, such as for Graypaul Glasgow Ferrari ‘Women with Drive: A Night in Italy’ and ‘A Starry Night in Rome’. When not performing\, Jacopo and Kerry run their own teaching studio (JKL DUO Studio) in the heart of Glasgow’s West End\, delivering 1-1 lessons\, group/chamber music classes and providing performance opportunities for their students. Currently\, JKL DUO are represented by Classical Musicians Scotland and are Live Music Now Scotland and Sofar Sounds Artists. \n  \n  \n
