Storytelling

Cowboy Graves

Go Local Glasgow and West Scotland

(Fri 30 Oct: 7pm)

Two deserts on the other side of the world, two wanderers over fifty years apart and two stories entwine to explore the search for home and the struggle for survival in this contemporary storytelling piece. Strangers in strange lands battle the presence of a skeleton, a tin of corned beef and the changes that occur when you’re lost in a sea of sand.

Featuring Bryce Drennen and Frankie Regalia, with live original music by Mounday Soutar, whose unique experimental country music takes inspiration from the Americana West and the wild places of the world. Cowboy Graves was first developed as part of Wildcard Stories, a Creative Scotland funded, quarterly contemporary storytelling event.

Followed by open mic storytelling hosted by The Village Storytelling Centre! After you’ve heard tales of epic journeys and distant lands come along and take a turn with a story, a song or any other folkloric output in this open evening of relaxing tale sharing.

At The Boardwalk, 105 Brunswick St, Glasgow, G1 1TF.

This year’s Festival explores the rich relationship between storytelling and the natural world through our theme Bird and Beast. Alongside a vibrant programme at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh, storytellers across Scotland bring these tales to life this autumn through the Go Local programme. We proudly celebrate Scotland’s cèilidh tradition with an invitation into the story circle, extending a warm welcome to international guests who share their stories, traditions and contemporary practices alongside Scotland’s own world-class talent. Join us for some unforgettable tales and moments that bring us closer to nature, as we follow the trail of footprints and feathers and let our imagination take flight.
