This event brings together iconic figures from the folk scene of the 1960s and 1970s with a younger generation of musicians who have been inspired and influenced by their work.
Mike Heron, psychedelic folk pioneer, founding member of the Incredible String Band and veteran of the Woodstock festival, has been collaborating and touring throughout Europe with Glasgow based indie folk outfit The Trembling Bells.
In this unique performance Mike and the band will perform re-imagined Incredible String Band classics, Trembling Bells originals and newly commissioned pieces with Gaelic vocalist Alasdair Whyte.
Margaret Nicolson and Na h-Òganaich were trailblazers in the popularisation of Gaelic traditional song in the 1970s. For this performance she will be joined by Alasdair Whyte and his band to present favourites from her back catalogue, tracks from Alasdair's debut album and new interpretations of traditional Gaelic songs in collaboration with Vinnie Blackwall of the Trembling Bells.

Tha an tachartas seo a’ toirt còmhla daoine suaicheanta bho shaoghal tuath-cheòl nan 60ans nan 70ans còmhla ri ginealach nas òige de luchd-ciùil a tha air am brosnachadh agus fo bhuaidh an cuid obrach.
Tha Mike Heron, tùsaire tuath-cheòl ioma-dhathach, ball stèidhidh an Incredible String Band agus seann ghaisgeach fèis Woodstock, air a bhith a’ co-obrachadh agus a’ dol air chuairt na Roinn Eòrpa còmhla ri còmhlan tuath-cheòl indie The Trembling Bells à Glaschu.
Sa ghnìomhachadh gun choimeas seo, bidh Mike agus an còmhlan a’ coileanadh òrain ath-chuimhnichte is ainmeil don Incredible String Band, òrain tùsail bho Trembling Bells agus pìosan air an ùr-choimiseanadh air an seinn leis an t-seinneadair Gàidhlig, Alasdair MacIlleBhàin.
Bha Mairead NicNeacail agus Na h-Òganaich aig teis-meadhain ath-bheothachadh ùidh a-rithist ann an òrain traidiseanta Gàidhlig sna 1970an. Còmhla rithe air an àrd-ùrlar an seo bidh Alasdair MacIlleBhàin agus a chòmhlan a’ cur an gnìomh nan òran air a bheil meas bhon stòras òrain aice, tracaichean bhon chiad chlàr aig Alasdair MacIlleBhàin agus mìneachaidhean ùra air òrain Ghàidhlig traidiseanta.
