Moby Duck presents

Every self-respecting stepmother has always preferred heart, lungs and liver to Whole Live Stepdaughter since folktales began - and Ratna's no exception. This time, though, the ancient gods don’t agree - and when those gods decide to take action, it’s time to get very, very scared...

Moby Duck’s latest show for older children blends two ancient Indian stories with the much younger Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and The Winter’s Tale from the West. Storytelling, South Asian dance, live Eastern and Western music, wild digitally generated projections and haunting, evocative mask/puppets swirl together in the company’s unique performance style. Miss it if you dare!

Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham

Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham are two of the best-known and most significant performers in Scottish traditional music today. Stylish Shetland fiddler Aly Bain, founder member of Boys of the Lough, is acknowledged as one of the instrument's leading players, while accordionist Phil Cunningham, the man who possesses "the fastest, most sensitive fingers you're ever likely to hear", is hugely respected as a musician, producer and broadcaster. With a broad musical range, extending from slow airs to full-throttle Scottish reels and dance tunes, Phil and Aly are a musical tour de force - a duo where one plus one seems to add up to so much more than two.
