Gramophones Theatre Company in 'End to End' 
This is the second show which some of the Highland promoters admired in last year's Fringe and invited to tour our venues. It's a delightful and imaginative entertainment performed by three wacky young ladies who hitched from Land's End to John O' Groats and then turned their experience into a play.

Fiona Hunter and Mike Vass
Nothing is more exciting for musicians than finding someone else who you enjoy playing with and that is what's happened to those two. They are well matched and Fiona's beautiful voice and cello is perfectly underscored by Mike's guitar and fiddle.

The History of the Jazz Violin - illustrated talk by Chris Garrick 
Lyth Arts Centre Time: 17:30:00 Location: Lyth Arts Centre Length: 1 hour Interval: no Age suitability : 11+ The History of the Jazz Violin - illustrated talk by Chris Garrick The first name that comes to mind when we think about the jazz violin is Stephane Grappelli but he is just one of a line of innovators who form part of an evolving tradition that starts in Europe, moves to America and then ricochets back and forth across the Atlantic bringing the potential of this great orchestral and chamber instrument into the cadre of the jazz band. Chris has a unique collection of recordings and introduces and plays excerpts which trace the path of this development ending with a memorable moment when the great Yehudi Menuhin, master of the classical violin and Grappelli, master of the jazz violin met and played together.

Blueflint in concert At Lyth Arts Centre
16/05/2013 Time: 20:00:00 Location: Lyth Arts Centre Length: 2 hours Interval: yes Age suitability : 11+ Blueflint in concert Perhaps bluegrass would be the closest musical label to describe this band with its two banjos and close harmony female vocals but there's so much more to their appeal. Hence their current 22 point UK tour, their album success and their much-envied big break being invited to open for The Proclaimers on a recent UK album launch tour.
