Scottish Folk – Ewan McLennan in concert,
Ewan is a young, up-and-coming folk artist who has been making headlines over the past year performing at festivals, clubs and concert halls across the UK and beyond. His music combines folk song from around Britain and further afield, but with an inevitable concentration on the tradition of Scotland where he grew up. He is this year's winner of the BBC Folk Horizon Award

Ewan and his music were a delight to experience. Beautiful songs sung with such feeling and a great sounding guitar. It was good to hear the stories behind the songs; makes for a greater appreciation of what Ewan does. Thank you.
As an ex resident up for a week I was delighted to find this small but perfect beacon of excellence in the centre of Caithness. It is cultured, civilised and a haven of artistic flair. This concert was melodious and a delight to the ear; the standard of Ewan’s musicianship is that of a master of his art, his voice individual, and the overall effect was an evening of pleasure to the ears. We shall be back.
