King Creosote

From Scotland with Love

Kenny Anderson performs his audio-visual love letter to Scotland and its people.

Virginia Heath’s meticulously selected archival footage depicts the full spectrum of life, from work to play, love to loss, humour to tragedy – it envelopes us in a world that may seem in the distant past, but that still resonates strongly today. With a live soundtrack from King Creosote and his band, and without voice-overs or interviews, the music paints a vivid picture of the film’s subjects, from a playful seaside scene to soldiers marching off to war.

King Creosote quickly sold out the premiere performance of the project back in 2014 – this is another chance to witness a project which still stands out as one of the highlights of his discography. The song-cycle shows his versatility and song-writing craft as he effortlessly moves from dreamy indie pop to ragtime polka with an omni-present flair for storytelling.
