MUSIC

It’s a final performance of this show, featuring many of the musicians from our recent sold-out night in March. On the bill once again will be Stevie Jackson of Belle & Sebastian, Francis Macdonald of Teenage Fanclub and Rachel Gaughan. We’ll also be joined by a new musical guest, Lily Rieke Marty. The previous show was a great experience for all involved, however, we would never seek to duplicate it. Watch out for new versions and arrangements of songs from ‘Blood on the Tracks’ as well as performances of the numbers we didn’t get to last time. Hopefully we’ll have some surprises along the way.

The night is also a literary tribute. Get ready for readings and discussions of Dylan’s magnificent lyrics and brand-new literary responses to his work in the form of poems, fiction and non-fiction.
