Karine Polwart & Dave Milligan 5 November 2022

Karine is becoming a regular at St Georges coming down to play with other people from her Scottish village. This time it is pianist Dave Milligan. This was the polar opposite of the last gig - or at least the 'Les Amazones D'Affrique' part in that it was low key and gentle on the ears and mind. They did a selection of folky Scottish songs, some based on Burns - others written by Karine. Her voice is in the folk style clear and pure and she sings very well, his piano is accomplished and nuanced. They finish with that Burns' favourite 'This Parting Glass'. I'm relaxed and refreshed.
