LNER runs regular train services to Edinburgh and, best of all, express trains from London often stop at Dunbar before heading straight on to Edinburgh Waverley.

Jo Beth Young & Serious Child - Shadow Navigation Show

2nd Nov

The Acclaimed musician, poet comes on tour to Scotland for the first time - bringing songs, stories and visions exploring how to navigate the shadows of human experience together. Jo Beth Young (FKA Talitha Rise/RISE) is a hidden gem rising from the alt/neo-folk and prog scenes. Her ethereal vocals and mesmeric musical style have been enrapturing and provoking deep emotional responses from audiences since the 2018 debut album An Abandoned Orchid House and 2019's follow-up Strangers. Writing from a place of raw authenticity, her poetic world comes armed with lullabies and battle cries interwoven. At times heartbreaking, but always hopeful and inspiring in the end. Her live shows are known to bring deep, emotional magic to the audience, capturing the attention of the national press who have described her live shows as "unmissable" and exquisite. The Shadow Navigation Show brings a new, beautifully-crafted, live experience aligned with the Ireland based songwriter's much anticipated new album Broken Spells. Teaming up with the eclectic talents of UK songwriter and roots musician Serious Child, this is an experience of spiritually charged storytelling, hypnotic original songs with an atmospheric film and visual backdrop - this promises to be an unforgettable night. "Brilliantly atmospheric vocals...elegant rhythms...a winning confluence of globe spanning folk music. Record Collector Magazine\*\*\*\* "Deeply moving and soulful Louder Than War "A mesmerising and powerful performance that keeps an appreciative audience under its spell" Prog Magazine "Extraordinary talent BBC Introducing Serious Child Serious Child draws from a wide range of acoustic musical influences from folk to pop to bossa nova to explore the world around us with a poet's ear for emotion and a comedian's eye for everyday detail. His album with Andy Ruddy, Talk About The Weather, was shortlisted for Fatea Album of the Year 2021. writes about today in a way that is almost tactile with wit, style, intelligence and bags of melody ''''' Spiral Earth Tickets are £15 in advance and £18 on the door.
