12 - 14 Oct 2017

Every autumn, two and a half thousand pink-footed geese fly from Greenland to winter at Fala Flow, a protected peatbog southeast of Edinburgh. From this windy plateau, Karine Polwart surveys the surrounding landscape through history, song, bird-lore and personal memoir. Ideas of sanctuary, maternity, goose skeins, Scottish football legend and medieval medicine all take flight, in this compelling combination of story and song.

Karine Polwart is an multi-award-winning Scottish songwriter and musician, as well as a theatre maker, storyteller, spoken word performer and published essayist. She is also a four time winner at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
