Welcome to The Scotsman Sessions

With the performing arts sector still impacted by the pandemic, we are commissioning a series of short video performances from artists all around the country and releasing them on scotsman. com, with introductions by our critics.

Highlights so far include:

● KT Tunstall performing her new song, Anything At All, from her home in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles

● Scotland’s Makar Jackie Kay reading two lockdown poems, Still and Mask

● Tam Dean Burn tackling the subject of Scotland’s salmon farming industry in an excerpt from his show Aquaculture Flagshipwreck

● Scottish Chamber Orchestra cellist Su-a Lee playing Dvořák’s Songs My Mother Taught Me in a forest near Grantown-on-spey
