Myth/Story/Song – Breaking Boundaries

To coincide with our new exhibition Literary Cities: Edinburgh, MoLI is delighted to announce a series of four events at the museum in April, May, September and October, featuring some of the most important established and up-and-coming names in Irish and Scottish writing and music. 

Breaking Boundaries is the first in this series and is an evening of performance, reading and conversation on Thursday, 7 April, at 8pm, with Scottish and Irish artists pushing at the boundaries of their traditions.The evening will feature readings and conversation with one of Scotland’s most established literary voices, Andrew O’Hagan, alongside Scottish performance poet Victoria McNulty and Irish writer Megan Nolan, discussing youth, place, and their most recent work. They will be joined by Scottish songwriter, Kris Drever, along with Irish all-female traditional singing group Landless for a rare collaborative performance, as well as individual songs from their repetoires.
