Week 24 highlights

- Roger Cox, arts editor

Welcome to Week 24 of The Scotsman Sessions. With performing arts activity curtailed for the foreseeabl­e future, we are commission­ing a series of short video performanc­es from artists all around the country and releasing them on scotsman.com, with introducti­ons from our critics. This week, Attic Lights frontman Kev Sherry performs an unplugged version of new single Shoes That Make You Taller; stand-up comedian Keir Mcallister draws our attention to some of the “hidden victims” of the cancellati­on of this year ’s Edinburgh festivals; folk singer Kirsty Law performs traditiona­l song, The Shearing outside the Scottish Parliament; and Hannah Jarrett-scott and Christina Gordon revisit the opening scene of Pride And Prejudice* (*sort of ), Isobel Mcarthur ’s brilliant 21st century stage adaptation of the Jane Austen classic novel.
