First of a planned monthly series of Saturday afternoon gigs @canvasdundee this weekend, gigs programmed by @haystack_monolith and me to share what feels like a nascent community of like-minded musicians on Tayside. This Saturday will feature the incredible @songs_and_illustrations, singing her own songs along with Transylvanian folk songs - I'm hoping she'll invite me to sit in on a few tunes too. Supporting her will be @haystack_monolith, singing his songs about nature, politics and jellyfish, accompanied by me.

These events are kid and dog friendly - we'd like them to be as much hang out as gig, so if you like the sound of it, please bring along anyone you think will enjoy it. Delicious beers, wines and soft drinks are available, and there's usually a street-food pop up outside in case anyone gets hungry.

Music between 2 and 4, entry is free, but we're asking for donations.
