The One Ensemble & Sarah Kenchington will perform the world premiere of a suite of works inspired by the story of James Duthie. Duthie, a profoundly deaf Aberdeenshire man, cycled solo on a 3000 mile return trip to the far north of Europe in 1951. Sadly he was killed in a mysterious road accident in 1965.
The 13th annual Scots Fiddle Festival (13 to 15 November) sees Shetland/Edinburgh fiddler Aly Bain and Aonghas Grant topping a bill with some familiar faces and many new ones.
