Scottish folk musician James Yorkston plays The Pleasance Theatre in Edinburgh.
James Yorkston plays The Pleasance on Friday 27 November, one stop on his solo tour. He's the only name on the bill, so it's just him up front for the night.
Yorkston is a Scottish folk musician, and this is a solo run, which means it's just him and his guitar rather than a full band. If you've seen him with a group before, this is a different way of hearing the songs — stripped back and focused on the voice and the fingerpicking. He's been working in folk for a long time, and his name is well-known across the UK folk scene, so this is a chance to catch him in a smaller, solo setting.
