Fiona J. Mackenzine — “A Good Suit of Clothes”
As part of this year’s Highland Homecoming, Fiona Mackenzie will be holding a recital of emigrant songs that chronicle the tales — both happy and sad — of the thousands of Gaels who left for the New World over the last few centuries. The songs are taken from Fiona’s recent album A Good Suit of Clothes, and she will also be telling the stories that inspired the album. Accompanying her on grand piano is Scottish Musical Director Kennedy Aitchison, and contemporary dancer Gemma Giubarelli will be providing a unique interpretation of the music. Also on display will be photographs and artwork by local school pupils that illustrate the songs.
The concert is being held in the drawing room of Brodie Castle just outside Nairn on Sunday 25th October at 8pm. Tickets are £20 (£10 for under-16s), and bubbly and canapés will be served afterwards. Tickets are extremely limited , so you are advised to book early to ensure you don’t miss this very special event.
