This is truly peak bleak news for the arts in Scotland. The future consequence is unfathomable and irrecoverable. Until Scottish Government sit round a table to resolve their failings with Creative Scotland this crisis will prove fatal, if it hasn’t already. creativescotland.com/news-stories/l…

I am trying to digest of what that will mean for us in Scotland...

Can’t wait to share our new programme this coming Saturday. Here’s the menu 😋 and a link for tickets. 1pm August 24-St Columba’s-by-the-Castle, Edinburgh Fringe Festival tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/duo-m… Edinburgh Festival Fringe #UnleashYourFringe #malvinaguitarduo Eddie McGuire

I heard my piece Passing Spring performed by Richard Deering yesterday and sat with the very charming Eddie McGuire.

Many thanks to those who turned out last night CeltScotStudies to hear about John Cage and Scottish trad music and to preview the forthcoming release of #ScottishCircus and 4'33" by Whistlebinkies Folk Group coming soon from Mode Records. Listen out for Eddie McGuire on BBC Front Row next week.

A beautiful tribute to the work of Eddie McGuire last night at the Edinburgh Society of Musicians, organised by Kieran McCrossan. Fantastic performances all round, by Kieran, Lynn Strang, Adam Brown, Stewart Kelly, Amy McColl and the rest of the team.

A video of the concert of my music filmed by Stewart Kelly at Edinburgh Society of Musicians on Nov 30. He commissioned & premiered my new 'Consolation'. Several other musicians (on flutes, guitars, piano & clarinet) added to a most enjoyable evening: youtu.be/kA7IDutV7hY?si…
