Brough welcomes Bob Pegg
on Sunday 28th May from 2-4pm
Bob is a storyteller and writer based in Strathpeffer. He has travelled all over
the Highlands, to the Western and Northern Isles, and as far as Sweden and
Iceland, telling traditional tales interwoven with music and song.
When Bob
visits Brough, journeys and the sea will be his themes: the journey
of the seal killer of Duncansby Head to a strange land beneath the waves; a
trip across the North Sea from Denmark to the Pentland Firth, in a boat
containing two giant girls and a magic mill stone; the fisherman who finds his
lost daughter on a mysterious island hidden behind a wall of fog. Bob will
also be paying tribute to the Norse roots of Caithness with one of his favourite
stories, the Children of Loki.
Bob will
be playing music on the Viking lyre and his haunting Native American flutes. He
will wonder about the earliest music, coaxing astonishing sounds out of stones
and shells from the northern beaches, and he is sure to finish his performance
with what, he believes, could compete with the bagpipes as the national musical
instrument of Scotland.
We are delighted that the Spirit of Caithness has support this event

Come and join us for the fantastic afternoon for all the family. As well as Bob's stunning stories, there will be music and jokes provided by some of the younger (and perhaps a few older!) members of the Brough community. Refreshments provided.
