<p>
</p>As in previous years, we are delighted to be able to hold a joint session with our friends at the Edinburgh Song Session. Part of the Carrying Stream Festival, the session will celebrate the songs, poetry and other writings of Hamish Henderson; given the time of year, we will also no doubt have some items relating to war and the Armistice. These themes are not at all compulsory, and we are happy to hear whichever songs, poems, tunes or wee tales you feel like bringing along! The session is now back in its pre-Covid home: The Canons' Gait, 232 Canongate, Edinburgh, EH8 8DQ (mezzanine room, down a few steps from the main bar area). More information about the session on the ESS Facebook page at: <a href="%3Cp%3E%20%3C/p%3E" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/289402087759974</a>

One thing you may like to note now is that that festival has moved back at one of its original locations - The Pleasance Student Union, 60 The Pleasance, Edinburgh EH8 9TJ - following its amazing upgrade.
The festival programme is expect to follow our format of two evening concerts on the Friday and Saturday night, workshops on the Saturday daytime and an Open session on the Sunday afternoon. This year we will continue the popular dance ceilidh in an extended second half of the Saturday night concert so participants and the musicians get to try both Scottish and Nordic dance and music all in one place!
The invited guests are:
· Kata – a five women group who sing traditional songs from the Faroe Islands in a striking manner <a href="http://tutlrecords.com/artists_show.php?l=en&ArtistId=539">http://tutlrecords.com/artists_show.php?l=en&ArtistId=539</a>
· Caolmhar – a group of four young people from Sweden that perform a range of Nordic & Scottish music and songs (a couple of them were part of the student group from Uppsala University which were part of Northern Streams 2018). <a href="https://hannahsundkvist.com/caolmhar/">https://hannahsundkvist.com/caolmhar/</a>
· EPK - Jocelyn Pettit with Rav Sira & Ellen Gira - a trio of young musicians studying in Scotland, from Canada, Norway and the USA, who enjoy playing both Nordic and Scottish music. This will be their first headline concert since forming. <a href="https://jocelynpettit-trio.blogspot.com">https://jocelynpettit-trio.blogspot.com</a>
The Festival website is <a href="http://www.northernstreams.org">http://www.northernstreams.org</a> which will be updated as things are confirmed.
We will put up another post when tickets are available.

It was a great day with some cracking songs brought by Jennifer Sterling for us to sing and harmonise to. The Performance Platform had a good number of groups singing for us before Jennifer rounded off the day with a short concert displaying her singing and fiddling virtuosity.

We are aware that the above is the same date as the big concert in The Usher Hall - the final performance of "Far, far from Ypres", hence the session finishing slightly earlier to allow for eating before the concert to which some of us are going! There are still a few tickets available via The Usher Hall website and box office, up in the Upper Circle. It will be the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, a poignant date indeed.
In the past we have liaised with Edinburgh Folk Club's "Carrying Stream Festival" over this weekend. For a number of reasons, including the Usher Hall concert, their festival is much scaled down this year, but still feel free to bring your Hamish Henderson songs to the session (11th November also having been his birthday.)Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05204426109893940081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438402217877613345.post-41252305656223162672018-03-20T10:21:00.004+00:002018-03-20T10:21:32.628+00:00Northern Streams website up and running againNorthern Streams website is now fully back up online - apologies for the technical issues caused by regular maintenance work from the website domain provider.
