In Flanders Fields/An Achadh Flanders
(Tue 11 Nov: 4:15pm)
A unique event dedicated to World War One poet John McCrae and his poem In Flanders Fields, debuting a new interpretation of this iconic work.
Following the very special impact of translating In Flanders Fields into French to sing for commemorations in Cambrai, France, Linn Phipps collaborated with Penicuik songwriter Alan Murray to create a completely new version and interpretation of the poem in Scottish Gaelic to an original tune by Alan. Join Linn and Alan for insights into the life of John McRae and how he came to write this poem, the story of their own collaboration and a performance of the new piece as a duet by singers Linn and Jo Nelson.
This event is free and non-ticketed.
