Distant Voices at Solas Festival

public
Solas Festival / 24 Jun 2018 12:00 pm

With Emma Pollock (ex-Delgados), Donna Maciocia and C. Duncan.

Join three of Scotland’s most accomplished songwriters for an intimate gig exploring their work in Distant Voices as part of Solas Festival 2018.

Distant Voices brings songwriters together with people who have first-hand experience of the criminal justice system. The gig celebrates the launch of a truly remarkable album. Not Known at this Address features songs written with prisoners, prison staff, researchers and social workers. Through these diverse collaborations, the album offers a unique, and uniquely human, portrait of criminal justice in Scotland.

Join us as we play and discuss songs from Not Known at this Address alongside other songs from Distant Voices.

‘The most striking Scottish album of the year so far’

‘Listen to these songs, not because it’s such a worthwhile project, though it is, but because you’ll love them’

Ricky Ross BBC Radio Scotland
