The CoastWord Coorie In featuring Kim Edgar
The Dunmuir Hotel
Dunbar United Kingdom
Share this event:

The CoastWord Coorie In is a much loved staple of our programme and in the ceilidh tradition is a cosy night celebrating music, stories and community.

Scots songwriter Davie Robertson barely needs an introduction to the guid folks o' East Lothian, certainly not to those who frequent the folk clubs. His funny and perceptive songs are sung in the traditional style, delivered wi' panache and nae nonsense. Not to be missed. Kirsty Law is a singer songwriter in the Scots tradition. In addition to her performance at the Coorie In she is also running a songwriting workshop on Saturday afternoon (see biography in Workshops section).

CoastWord favourites Dunbar Sings are a community choir led by Karen Dietz, founded in January 2008. Open to all, they sing a wide range of unaccompanied songs and are always a delight to hear. The Writing Mums is a collective of mothers and grandmothers who have been writing together for almost three years. They have had their work collected in an anthology and have performed their work at The Edinburgh Fringe, The Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival, Book Week Scotland and at the last two CoastWord Festivals. Multi-instrumentalists Firefly Fortyfive are Carey Lunan, Martin Fay, John Hardman and Jen McKie. Their sound is reminiscent of the 1970s folk scene (think Sandy Denny, Pentangle, Joni Mitchell) with jazz and traditional Scottish influences.

Kim Edgar is a highly respected performer in the Scottish live music scene. Her intimate performances, where her clear, sweet vocals are complemented by rhythmic guitar or piano, are captivating. Her songs are inspired by fairy tales, feminist issues and social justice. In addition to her work as a solo artist and with her band Cara, Kim also leads a children's choir at the BIG Project - a youth and children's charity, based in Broomhouse, Edinburgh.

"[;;;Kim's songs are];;; moving, literate, allusive and expressively sung - and destined to travel far beyond their Scottish genesis." -Scotland On Sunday
