Poetry and music at CatStrand this Wednesday - The Wood and the Water

Make the most of a summer evening of poetry and music as artists find creative ways to respond to aspects of rivers, seas and forests.

Come along to The CatStrand to hear hugely talented D&G based poets Vivien Jones and Jackie Galley alongside musicians Michael Hendry, Richard Jones and Rebecca Hendry. Music is woven around the spoken word to create a really special performance. Not to be missed.

There will also be the Balliol Consort performing “Scotland at Night”.
