SUMMARY:Musical Memories of Martyn Bennett
DESCRIPTION:Cutting-edge\, steeped in tradition\, innovative and inspirational\, Martyn Bennett came from a long line of Skye tradition-bearers. Piper\, fiddler\, composer and endless experimenter\, he was one of Scotland’s most prodigiously gifted and beloved musicians until his untimely death at the age of 33. \nThis celebration of his life\, work and spirit is introduced by Martyn’s mother — singer\, folklorist and author Margaret Bennett — who shares a collection of photographs\, memories and music\, alongside previously unreleased recordings. A rare and intimate glimpse into other facets of Martyn’s character and musicianship\, including a Paganini duet played by Martyn and the inimitable Hester Dickson. \nJoining Margaret is Quinie — the performance name of Scottish artist Josie Vallely\, whose music blends traditional Scots song with bold\, experimental arrangements. Drawing inspiration from Scots Traveller singer Lizzie Higgins\, poet Marion Angus\, and the interwoven traditions of Scotland and Ireland\, Quinie engages with the living questions of how songs are learned\, remembered\, adapted and sustained across time. Her third album Forefowk\, Mind Me\, released in May 2025\, was named Folk Album of the Year by The Guardian — marking her as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary Scottish folk. \nTo bookend the performances\, we’ll have DJ CABLECAR – one half of legendary West Highland DJ duo baile/baile – spinning tracks in the café-bar. \nAn evening of music\, memory and experimentation\, in the spirit of a man who changed Scottish music forever. \n\n\n\n\nTickets\n£15.00 / £13.00 / £10.50 / £7.50 /   Buy Tickets >
