commission Britten Suite on English Folk Tunes (A time there

Garry Walker Conductor Karen Cargill Mezzo Soprano
As part of StAnza 2011, this special concert celebrates verse in
music. One of the hits of the 2009 Edinburgh International
Festival, Battistelli’s is a corker of a piece vividly evoking
the storm and supernatural terror of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
Sorrow touches the premiere of Edward Harper’s Pastoral, which
is a setting of Burns’ poetry. When he died in 2009, Harper was
working on a new symphony for the SCO and his friend Lyell
Cresswell has completed this single movement from his manuscript
in tribute. Mezzo Karen Cargill, one of Scotland’s brightest
stars, also sings traditional folk songs arranged by Berio.
Pre-concert talk: 6.30pm (free to ticket holders) Lyell
Cresswell in conversation with Dr Michael Downes, Director of
Music at the University of St Andrews. Ticket

FIFESTOCK - Kieran Goss
The Inn at Lathones by Largoward, St. Andrews
Kieran Goss was born and raised in County Down, and was just
nine years old when he got his first guitar. Growing up in a big
family with diverse musical tastes meant that early on Goss was
hearing the music of Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Willie
Nelson, Frank Sinatra and the Rolling Stones. These varied
influences fermented into the brew that gives Goss his own
unique sound.

FIFESTOCK - Mick Taylor Band
The Inn at Lathones by Largoward, St. Andrews
When The Rolling Stones wanted to tour North America in 1969,
the problems surrounding founding member and guitarist Brian
Jones could not be ignored. His conviction for illicit drug
usage prevented him from obtaining the work visa needed to
perform on tour in America; this and his emotional problems had
alienated him from the rest of the group and would have made
touring difficult, if not impossible. Jones was fired from the
band in early June 1969 (less than a month later, on July 3, he
drowned in his swimming pool). Mick Jagger reportedly did not
want to hold auditions to replace Jones and the process by which
Taylor became a Stone was significantly different from that used
for Ronnie Wood five and a half years later. Jagger simply asked
John Mayall from the Bluesbreakers for his advice. Mick Taylor
was recommended, and Jagger invited him to a recording session.
Taylor arrived at the studio thinking they wanted him to do some
session work, but after a while he realised he was being
auditioned as a new guitarist for the band. Contact

FIFESTOCK - Ian Siegal
The Inn at Lathones by Largoward, St. Andrews
“Awash with wit, lust and distraction…one of the most inventive
Blues recordings ever made by a British artist.” MOJO****
It has been said that had Siegal been around in the sixties he
would today be accorded the same reverence as artists such as
Van Morrison, Joe Cocker and Eric Clapton. Instead, he is a
child of the seventies who dropped out of art college in the
late eighties to go busking in Germany. From the streets of
Berlin Siegal progressed to clubs around Nottingham, then to
London and ultimately to major stages around Europe.

imaginable. The marvellous Scottish mezzo Karen Cargill performs
