Spoken Word and Music
National Theatre of Scotland: Makar to Makar – Thursday 14th May @ 7pm
Scotland’s national poet Jackie Kay is to present a new weekly series of online cultural events, created in response to the current lockdown.
The series, titled Makar to Makar, will feature established literary talents and emerging voices from Scotland and across the world along with other special guests, and will include a mix of conversation, spoken word performance, and live music.
Kay was inspired to create the series to entertain and accompany people in isolation during the current lockdown, which has seen literary and cultural festivals across the world shut down.
Each event will feature one or two “makars” paired with a singer, who will finish every show with a song. Contributing writers and musicians to each show will also be paid a fee, with a view to supporting artists during this difficult period for performers. The programme will also stage events featuring guests from different walks of life who will share their passions for good writing..
The first episode will broadcast this Thursday (14th May), with Kay as the first week’s performer, followed in week two by poet Don Paterson.
