What happens when Highland bagpipes meet jazz saxophone, synthesisers, and a drummer? The Nexus Project.
Bede Patterson's ensemble draws a line between ancient and contemporary bagpipe music, inviting jazz, classical and traditional folk to meet in the middle. Their new album Glaisvair features guest musicians from Scotland, indigenous Australia and Persia, which tells you everything about the ambition of this project.
Friday 8 May, 6.30pm at the Traverse Theatre.
