Lemon TreeTo mark International Women’s day, the Saturday 6th March lunchtime performances at Aberdeen’s Lemon Tree will focus on the relationships between women and men. The volunteers from SC&T and the session group Scotch Broth will be joined by two young musicians from Harlaw Academy as part of the “pathways to performance” initiative. The joys, triumphs, woes and troubles of human relationships will be explored through songs and tunes ancient and modern.  Doors open at 12 noon with the performance from 1 to 2 pm.

Scotch Broth are a group of musicians who meet regularly on Sunday evenings at St Peter’s Heritage Hall in Culter. Adults who like to play Scottish music at an intermediate level are made welcome.

May 11 - May Festival: Day Of Song

A DAY OF SONG
'A Day of Song' aims to raise the profile of contemporary traditional singing as an art form and to raise awareness of the rich resources available to today's singers of the Greig-Duncan Folk Song Collection, gathered here in the North-East of Scotland between 1904 and 1914.

We aim to create a celebration and encourage young singers, and those new to the art, to see the potential for artistic development and new interpretations of this repertoire.
