A DRUNK MAN LOOKS AT THE THISTLE - RED NOTE TUNE UP Tour June 2010
2010-06-03 - 2010-06-09 | Various Venues, United Kingdom
“The nervous thistle’s shiverin like
A horse’s skin aneth a cleg,
Or Northern Lichts or lustres o
A soul that Daith has fastened on,
Or mornin eftir the night afore.

Shudderin thistle gie owre, gie owre….”

Commissioned by MayFest in 1992, Sweeney’s galloping, madcap setting is by turns funny and profound, employing Red Note’s multi-talented musicians, singers and narrator to sensational effect.

The ensemble for this tour is made of 9 players, including a jazz clarinettist and trombonist, 4 singers, and a famously thrawn narrator. Expect an evening of humour, inebriation, beauty, politically-charged comment and virtuoso musical and literary invention.

A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle will be directed by rising young conducting star Jessica Cottis, and features well-loved Scottish actor Crawford Logan in the title role.
