Join us for a unique evening of music, song, video and poetry inspired by James Hutton’s insights regarding deep time and Earth’s processes with performances from leading Scottish performers. Karine Polwart and Dave Milligan have featured the song ‘Siccar Point’ on their most recent album and will close the concert with a headline set inspired by the Earth. Olivia Rafferty will sing songs from her album ‘Typical Forever’ which is entirely about geology. East Lothian ambient composer Michael Begg’s work includes Deep Time and accompanies atmospheric video from Glenda Rome which will also be shown as excerpts from the film ‘Expressing the Earth’. There will be poetry featuring Siccar Point and Arthur’s Seat by Patrick Corbett, Jack Cooper, Colin Will and Alexander McCall Smith.Produced by the Edinburgh Geological Society.
