Description

A performance from acclaimed composer/songwriter Gareth Williams, lyrically transforming iconic final pages from Scottish fiction into brand-new 'literary chamber pop' songs. From the melancholy mastermind of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, to Kirsty Campbell's joyful farewell in Ely Percy's Duck Feet, the performance celebrates a diverse range of storytellers from across Scotland. This spellbinding collection for voice, piano and strings captures the moment a reader finishes the last lines of a book and holds it for just a few... more... minutes. MadeInScotlandShowcase.com

Sublime! Had me tears twice tonight. This should be Album of the Year. And, live at the Storytelling Centre it was beautiful to hear the last pages brought to life by Gareth, Justyna and Aisling. Seriously folks, you’ve only a few days to hear this gem…get your tickets now!!
