Ailsa Dixon brings the spirit of Orkney alive in this immersive evening of music and folklore.
Ailsa is an Orcadian performer, storyteller, and researcher whose work focuses on the transmission of island tradition: ballads, myths, folk tales and the tunes that sit between the two. Her performances often weave together spoken stories and live music, carrying listeners into the world of selkies, trows, sea lore and ancestral memory that is so distinctive to Orkney culture.
This event offers an enriching insight into the imaginative landscape behind The Northern Isles exhibition. Expect an evening that moves from haunting melodies to lively dance tunes, interspersed with tales of Orkney’s supernatural beings, historical legends and the everyday life that shapes island storytelling.
A beautiful way to close our January programme.
