Creative ripples in our pond

When poet Helen Boden came to see  Away Being at St Margaret’s House last month she took away a bunch of postcards to share with the Southside Writers Group in Edinburgh. Inspired by Ian Paterson’s  images of abandoned croft houses writers Marjorie Gill and Jean Taylor have shared their poems with us. The same images that graced the walls of Gallery 1 earlier this year also inspired Mike Vass‘s new music commission Coming Home sponsored by Enterprise Music Scotland. The EYG Big Band who helped to develop the pieces last year played the pieces in the gallery on January 4th to welcome in the new year and these were recorded and are now on https://soundcloud.com/jan-bee-brown
