Karine Polwart - Light Beyond The Window
Sat 25 May at 7:30pm
Corn Exchange, Haddington
Haddstock in partnership with The Brunton
Multi-award-winning Scottish songwriter, folk singer and storyteller, headlines at Haddstock.
Event Description
Support band: Gaze Is Ghost.
Karine Polwart is a multi-award-winning Scottish songwriter, folk singer and storyteller. Her songs evoke a richness of place, hidden histories, scientific curiosity and folklore. Trees and rocks speak. Birds flit in and out of vision. She conjures the beauty and the magic, the sorrow and complexity of the corner of her eye, with lyricism and tenderness.
This is a rare chance to enjoy Karine in intimate, conversational solo performance. Expect a clutch of new songs and wonder tales, and an evening suffused with light.
"Long established as a glorious singer, enquiring songwriter and enlightened mind" MOJO ****
