Tickets £15.00 / £14.00 concessions / £5 EHU students

With glowing reviews for the evocative lyricism and cinematic musical depth of her new album "Traces", Scottish singer-songwriter Karine Polwart tours the UK in 2013 with her two regular touring collaborators, brother Steven Polwart (guitars & vocals) and Fair Islander Inge Thomson (accordion, percussion and vocals).

Karine draws from folk music's long tradition while keeping pace with the ceaselessly changing times. Her talent for crafting unique, enduring melodies, her gift for saying just enough without overstating her case, the range and dynamism of her arrangements, all come together in songs of powerful contemporary relevance. She also has the purest and most approachable of singing voices, drawing the listener towards her in the same way one might lean towards a late night tale by the fireside.
