Alchemy’s recent musician in residence Miwa Nagato-Apthorp performs new commissions responding to Scottish Borders history, including a speculative song about bondagers – women engaged by tenant farmers to do agricultural labour for landowners in the nineteenth century – and the hawthorn bush from which Hawick reportedly took its name. Followed by our Festival Ceilidh in Hawick Town Hall.
