Windblown, 2:22 A Ghost Story and Jimmy Hutchison

Available for 29 days

This week the five star, critically acclaimed show, Windblown, started its tour across Scotland. The show, which stunned audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe last year, is a mix of song, poetry and spoken word, written by award-winning Scottish folk musician, writer and storyteller Karine Polwart. It is an elegy for a 200-year-old Sabal palm tree, cut down in 2021, that was brought from Bermuda to Edinburgh’s Royal Botanical Garden in the early 1800s. Karine joins Len to chat about the show. Renowned South Uist-born traditional Scottish singer, storyteller, and handloom weaver Jimmy Hutchison joins Len to speak just before an event in Edinburgh tomorrow that celebrates his contribution as a bearer and champion of traditions handed down through generations: the world premiere of the film Trad Treasure: Jimmy Hutchison. Len chats to two of the cast from the hit stage thriller 2:22 A Ghost Story which is coming to Aberdeen and Edinburgh next month. In the play, two couples attend a dinner party in a house where unsettling and spooky things happen every night – at 2:22am.
