The music of pioneering Scottish musician Martyn Bennett flowed with many inspirations, none more so than that of the Scottish Travellers. His final album, Grit, saw him draw upon the ballads and stories of the Travellers, famously sampling Sheila Stewart’s version of Ewan McColl’s The Moving On song to incredible effect.

We celebrate Martyn’s love of Traveller culture, whilst also exploring his wide use of world music through the Hindu Kali myths, in and evening with friends of Martyn’s and those still being inspired by his legacy today. With James McDonald Reid, Jess Stewart, Gauri Raje and Gary West.
