Description:
(2023) Savourna Stevenson & Steve Kettley - Wine of Life
Review:
Savourna Stevenson (clarsach, pedal harp) and Steve Kettley (saxophones) launch their new CD, Wine of Life. Expect beautifully blended styles, genres, traditions and ambitions rooted in history with a contemporary twist. Savourna’s choral setting of Psalm 121 was used at Queen Elizabeth’s St Giles Cathedral memorial service. She is known for breaking stylistic barriers, while maintaining her Scottish roots. Savourna has collaborated with Aly Bain and Eddi Reader and is acclaimed for her orchestral, chamber and choral works including her String Quintet. Steve leads several groups playing his original music, plus ‘Orange Claw Hammer’, interpretations of Captain Beefheart. A founder member of Salsa Celtica, he performs regularly with former Scottish national poet, Liz Lochhead. Evie Waddell is a traditional musician, Gaidhlig speaker, trained contemporary dancer and often performs signed songs through British Sign Language. Evie enjoys the exploration of multimedia performance and exchange which has been developing through working with organisations such as Solar Bear, Theatre Gu Leor, Fèisean nan Gàidheal and Magnetic North. She has been hard of hearing for 13 years. Evie recently created her first EP called ‘Leviathan’. She has also turned her hand to directing, producing and touring a show called ‘Failte Gu BSL’ exploring opportunities for d/Deaf people to own Scottish culture, and the relationships between Gaelic and BSL through traditional song and stories, sign and dance.
