FAR, FAR FROM YPRES 2018 COMMEMORATIVE TOUR DATES
3rd July 2018
League Member Kevin Gray MM has been able to secure invitations for two GML members to attend each performance of the Far, Far From Ypres tour. The tour will travel across Scotland throughout the centenary of the final hundred days of the war, using the songs of the trenches to tell the story of the Scottish war effort. The closing performance will take place at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh on Armistice Day. The cast of 26 performers, including Scottish folk scene favourites such as Barbara Dickson, Siobhan Miller, Dick Gaughan, Ian McCalman, Professor Gary West, Stephen Quigg and Ian Bruce, the songs of the war are seamlessly linked by narrator Iain Anderson and accompanied by a range of projected images, bringing to life Scotland’s contribution to the war effort both on the front line and at home.
