Opera Alba presents an evening of opera highlights, from Bizet to Verdi, from Beethoven to Puccini, with soprano Catriona Clark, mezzo soprano Sarah Shorter, tenor Christian Schneeberger and baritone Steven Faughey, accompanied by pianist Derek Clark. Opera Alba was formed in 2004 and aims to bring opera to venues around

Scotland in an entertaining and enjoyable manner. Each member of the group has extensive professional operatic experience, and they plan on having as much fun as their audiences! Opera Alba appears courtesy of Classical Musicians Scotland.

Infectious and very danceable Celtic Folk Fusion from the Moray coast. In many ways the perfect festival band, Brother Sea’s music is that of departure, adventure and new beginnings to sweep you away. Hypnotic vocals and a groove laden, contemporary twist on traditional folk creates a sense of awe and intrigue. Songs like campfire stories of heritage and folklore explode into wild Celtic reels and wild tales on the high seas!

From Glasgow’s rich music scene, Alice Faye has emerged as a truly distinctive voice.

Her songs take you on a journey, blending wild-eyed drama with poignant intimacy to form a distinctive narrative that captivates audiences. Alice’s artistry is defined by bold, fearless choices that expand her creative horizons. She draws on classic 70s pop, 60s folk, and country traditions, enriching them with the dramatic flair of chanson icons like Piaf and Brel. Her striking, unique vocal prowess – paired with unwavering musical confidence – creates a vivid, technicolor landscape that enthralls listeners.

“Alice Faye has an arresting voice to lean in to, halt the traffic, and transport you to some sepia-tinted romantic realm.” – The List

A highly entertaining duo with a variety of musical styles consisting of Scottish/ Irish/ Folk/ Rock/ Pop/ Cajun with a splattering of utter nonsense. The Bananas Boys will definitely have you Gaun Bananas.

Inspired by the acclaimed Netflix special Springsteen on Broadway, the Springsteen Acoustic Sessions brings a little of that Broadway magic to Biggar Corn Exchange.

Beautifully crafted by Dougie Robertson, founder and frontman of the Springsteen Sessions, alongside long-time musical collaborator and friend Peter McAteer, this production strips The Boss’ songs right back to their original state, putting them under the spotlight and delivering the same range and depth of material fans have come to expect from the Broadway show.

Whether you were lucky enough to catch the original run at the Walter Kerr Theatre on Broadway, or are one of the many thousands who watched from home on Netflix, join us for an up-close and personal look at some of Bruce Springsteen’s most influential musical works.
