Soundhouse Winter Festival, featuring artists based in Scotland runs from Thursday November 28 – December 2.
The programme includes Scottish jazz and trad musicians, new musicians and music workshops, as well as film and poetry.
Headiners include pianist Fergus McCreadie, rising star Megan Black, Callum Easter and the Roulettes and Su-a Lee and Friends at venues including the Queen’s Hall and the Traverse Theatre.
Douglas Robertson and Jane-Ann Purdy, co-producers said: “The Soundhouse Winter Festival presents a snapshot of the very best music produced in Scotland today. There’s no doubt that our small country produces some of the world’s finest musicians and we are honoured to give them a platform at our new festival. Shining a light on our home-grown stars seems an appropriate way to extend the St Andrew’s Day celebrations across this 5-day event. Despite the current gloom in the Scottish arts world, we hope the event will be inspirational and the first of many Soundhouse Winter Festivals.”
The programme included a brand new collaboration between outgoing Edinburgh Makar Hannah Lavery and acclaimed composer Kate Young. This one hour show will be based on Lavery’s work Unwritten Women with a new score by Young. Early evening concerts at the Traverse include appearances from Gaelic singer songwriter Rachel Walker, alt folk favourite Victoria Hume and jazz singer Nicol Smit.
