Singer-songwriter and sound artist Alice Boyd brings folk-inspired harmonies, ambient electronics and field recordings to Hall Two, inviting us to ponder the intersection of human life and the landscapes we call home.
In this performance, Alice Boyd and her ensemble share her latest music, including songs and sounds inspired by her trip to the Cairngorms retracing the steps of legendary nature writer Nan Shepherd.
Alice and her band will be debuting a new song, created for EarthPercent and Museum for the United Nation’s ‘Sounds Right’ initiative, featuring NATURE as an official artist, which will be released on Earth Day 2025.
This event will last approximately 1 hour 40 minutes, including an interval.

About Natalie Wildgoose
Natalie Wildgoose’s ghostly take on folk tradition carries the powerful, rarefied qualities of an unearthed archive recording, so much so that you can almost blow the the dust from it. Writing and recording her new EP Come Into The Garden on various pianos across the Yorkshire Dales using her grandfather’s old reel-to-reel tape recorder, she seeks to uncover the past; to reconnect with and capture the environments of the places and people that surround her. Step into Natalie’s world as she performs her original songs this evening.
