Furrowing on with a winter ain’t shit attitude and a wide array of genre spanning shoobs cuts 3/4 of the crew will be playing all night long in the Cowgate.

We’re thrilled to welcome Drag City artist Alasdair Roberts with his new collaborative project ‘What News’. Alasdair has worked with Will Oldham, Jason Molina, Josephine Foster, Mairi Morrison and Karine Polwart as well as members of Arab Strap and Trembling Bells.
This may be his nest work to date, and as Songlines put it “Roberts is in excellent voice… Skuse’s fascinating use of electronics marks her out as a unique composer-musician, and the keyboard work is minimal and perfectly weighted against Roberts’ vocals. What News just might be the best of Roberts’ trad albums – and that makes it essential listening”.
