Live music
Elsa Jean and Gary McTaggart present a tuneful account of survival during Covid-19 through a Celtic fusion of Hebridean Melody celebrating life, sorrow, uncertainty, joy and laughter.
Boilersuits, Beanies and a Barrow! That’s what was waiting for this musical duo when lockdown hit!
From a Sunny Party-land in Gran Canaria to the cold, wet, windy Western Isles of Scotland. Enjoy a musical story of survival with Scottish couple Elsa Jean and Gary McTaggart who found themselves with no option but to dive headlong into renovating their near derelict cottage on the Isle of Lewis and find their way through online livestreaming, music and island life!
A truly mesmerising twinning of music and storytelling reflecting on the formation of a global community who came together to support each other through uncertain times. With an album composed, a book written and a DVD filmed, this tale is interwoven with original compositions on fiddle, banjo, mandolin, penny whistles, bouzouki and Accordion.
