'Atlantic Forest' - A New Work - 16th March

5th March 2006

A unique collaboration in poetry & music between two sons of Caithness

Gordon Gunn & George Gunn with Brian MacAlpine on keyboard will perform this new work - a 'love poem for the planet' - for the first time.

Also John Aberdein reads from 'Amande's Bed' - 2005 Saltire Society/Royal Mail Scottish First Book of the Year Award

'It refuses fake heroism. It makes a natural, connective whole out of a splay of unlikely characters; its writing is witty, alive, and driven by the kind of spirit which blends the literal and the imagination into a fresh and paradoxical joie de vivre. It could so easily have been a sentimental work, and it always just misses it, never quite is. It's hilarious, dark, sweet, crowded and alive. In the end it moved me to tears.'
