Horse’s Stirling stop-off
Scottish singer-songwriter, Horse McDonald, is to take her award-winning one-woman play, Careful, on the road for a Scottish spring tour.
First performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2016, this poignant and compelling autobiographical story of her triumph over adversity through music, is collaboratively written with writer and comedian Lynn Ferguson, directed by Maggie Kinloch and produced by The Gilded Balloon.
The show will call in at the Macrobert in Stirling on Saturday April 1.
After the performance, Horse will be joined on stage by director Maggie Kinloch for an intimate,‘audience with’ Q&A session.
For music fans, she will also weave into the second half of the evening a small selection of her favourite songs from her illustrious career, prompted by the evening’s questions.
Horse takes to the stage as an admirably frank and engaging teller of her own touching story of survival, from wearing two-tone velvet loons to becoming one of Scotland’s most celebrated singers; painting a vivid and powerful picture of those times when she had to be... careful.
Horse is iconic. She has few peers, utterly unique, with breath-taking stagecraft. Her voice has been described as a‘finely honed instrument’.
Since her studio debut in 1989 with single, You Could Be Forgiven, Horse’s power to reinvent and advance her musical style and prowess has been unshakable.
She has released nine albums including The Same Sky and God’s Home Movie.
As well as touring in her own right, she has toured with stars such as Tina Turner, BB King, Bryan Ferry and Burt Bacharach.
