Stuart Ironside LIVE at Leith Depot

Stuart Ironside is a British guitarist bringing his classical technique with global influences and the sounds of nature to Leith Depot! He will perform a concert of original compositions and arrangements of music from England, Estonia and West Africa.

Currently based in Estonia, Stuart is a graduate of Cardiff University and SOAS University of London. Stuart’s recent musical projects, inspired by life in Estonia, have explored dance and movement, interactions with nature and extended improvisations. Stuart emphasises connection to the natural world, freedom in performance and embracing meditative states through his free-flowing mind playing and evocative sound.

Stuart’s recent album, ‘Music from Somewhere Else’, was recorded live in the forests of Northern Estonia. A two part album of arrangements, compositions and improvisations, it is a duet between Stuart and the natural world; Part 1, ‘The Enclosure’, was released in December 2025 and Part 2, ‘The Wildlands’, was released in April 2026.
