Carrying Fire

Go Local South Scotland

(Fri 16 Oct: 3pm)

The fires of Tír na nÓg travel over nine waves, by wind and wing across Scotland as the redstart searches for one deserving of the gift of fire. Tender the tinder and kindle , who has what it takes to receive a gift that can both destroy and create? Performed by David Hughes. Part of the Wild Goose Festival..

At The Stove, 100 High St, Dumfries, DG1 2BJ.

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.
