As part of their first Roma Cultural Festival and Scotland’s Year of Stories, Ando Glaso has commissioned four artists from Scotland’s GRT (Gypsy, Roma, Traveller) community to create a programme that will showcase the cultural heritage of travelling people.
Legendary storyteller Jess Smith will team up with three outstanding musicians – Ciaran Ryan, Kevin Whyte and Ian MacGregor – to explore their shared GRT heritage and perform a new body of work. The programme will tell the tales of this vibrant community in the same ways that their history has been preserved and passed on for centuries; through music, songs and storytelling.
