Stories on the Way

Featuring Eleanor Bell, with Marcela Trsova, Rich Mitchell, Sophie McCarthy & Traci Mackie | Carrying Stream Festival/Fèill Sruth an Eòlais 2026

(Wed 18 Nov: 7:30pm)

Enjoy live storytelling in the relaxed setting of the Netherbow Theatre, where the amazing apprentice storytellers will show off their skills through a different theme every performance. In a special Carrying Stream edition of the November session, join featured storyteller Eleanor Bell, with Marcela Trsova, Rich Mitchell, Sophie McCarthy and Traci Mackie for Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue; an old rhyme, a world of stories.

Join us to explore the familiar, the unexpected, the things we inherit, the things we discover and the things we carry with us. There may be love and relationships, memories and traditions, surprises and sorrows — and who knows what else?

Come along for an evening of stories that connect us to the past, open up new possibilities, and remind us that every story has something to offer.

This autumn, explore the changing world of the traditional arts and the legacy of the great Scottish folklorist, songwriter and activist Hamish Henderson. Audiences, writers and traditional artists of all kinds will come together as part of the Carrying Stream Festival 2026 for gatherings, talks, sessions, workshops and performances.

The ethos of the festival is to celebrate and encourage the Carrying Stream; the organic route by which music, song, spoken word and all manner of culture, is passed on from person to person and from generation to generation. The Festival originated with the Edinburgh Folk Club and SSC is delighted to be part of its revival this year along with friends and partners across Edinburgh.
