About this show
Highly skilled Scottish duo Elsa McTaggart and Gary Lister return to the Fringe with a joyful celebration of Scotland’s finest folk and Celtic music. Brimming with warmth, humour and musical mastery, they create an atmosphere of ceilidh and craic, reimagining traditional tunes through fresh arrangements and original compositions. Featuring a rich array of Celtic instruments and styles, the performance is interwoven with engaging storytelling and evocative video footage. A proven Fringe favourite, the duo have earned five-star reviews for every new show over the past 11 years. This sparkling production is a true gem not to be missed.
