Eat Your Own Ears and James Yorkston presents
A Christmas Special with
JAMES YORKSTON
+ Pictish Trail
+ Guests

Doors 7.30
SOLD OUT
NO RETURNS

James Yorkston is a singer and songwriter in the best folksy tradition, weaving together a seemingly effortless mix of sweet melodies, haunting lyrics, irrelevant humour and the odd blast of harmonica. Tonight sees James play a solo set bringing on various guests throughout the evening.
"Yorkston entrances and beguiles - finger-picked guitar, accordion, mandolin, whistles, pipes and sampled sounds all build into a breath-on-glass blur of love and swoon." (Mojo)
"Its lovely, understated melodies, autumnal arrangements and warm, wry lyrics." (The Guardian)

As a member of Fife-based Fence Collective,Pictish Trail has spent a good proportion of his year performing alongside fellow Fence compatriots King Creosote and others. However tonight he plays a set of his own tunes as he blends seemingly simple structures with intricate melodies of psychedelia-inflected folk, performed with warmth and a touch of irony. Think of an acoustic Beta Band jamming with The Beatles with a touch of The Beach Boys magic!
