Emma Pollock at Burnsong Song House

I'm playing a couple of gigs in a week's time as part of the Burnsong Song House extravaganza. 8 of us will be locked up in a house in SW Scotland for 5 days to write new material then play 2 gigs at the end of it consisting of entirely new material. I've never done anything like this before and am frankly terrified. I apologise in advance if anyone comes along to these shows and finds I have run away. Details of the gigs are below.

8 more songwriters take the challenge of entering the Burnsong Song House to write songs together for five days. Hear Kenny Anderson (King Creosote), Emma Pollock, Chris Difford, Karine Polwart, Sushil K Dade (future Pilot AKA), special guest, Canadian singer songwriter Michael Johnston, and Burnsong 2005 Finalist, Kim Edgar perform the songs they have written and some of their own at these two gigs.
