SCOTTISH Album of the Year 2015 award-winner Kathryn Joseph will team up with The Twilight Sad’s James Graham for a unique collaboration at Platform on April 23 as part of Outskirts, the Easterhouse venue’s annual celebration of cross-arts experimentation. The two singers will perform newly written material with Joseph’s long-term musical partner Marcus Mackay.
Outskirts’ line-up spans music, spoken word, film and moving image, visual arts, aerial performance and family events. Other artists on the bill include Glasgow-based laboratory theatre ensemble Company Of Wolves, jazz duo Herschel 36 performing a specially commissioned score to silent documentary Wunder Der Schopfung, Matthew Bourne playing his new Moogmemory album and a mixed programme of visual art work done in collaboration with Glasgow International.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
