Three great events from the LOCH SHIEL FESTIVAL

DOPEY MONKEY BRASS - “Woodlands & Waterwords” at 1:00pm
CHRIS STOUT & CATRIONA MCKAY WITH MAXWELL QUARTET at 7:00pm
What is Dopey Monkey?
Unlike their name suggests, this duo is one of the most intelligent, thought-provoking and creative brass duos on the international scene. Dopey Monkey began in 2015 with Danielle Price and Martin Lee Thomson exploring all things tuba and euphonium in an informal concert for friends. Known for their varied creative output, they draw upon their experiences in jazz, folk, classical and experimental music to create new projects and musical works. Expect the unexpected, theatrical, atmospheric, and perhaps most of all, expect to hear tuba and euphonium like you have never heard them before!
Special workshop and performance for children and families at 11am
Dopey Monkey have been amazing and enchanting their audiences, and defying all expectations of a brass ensemble, since their inception in 2015. Danielle and Martin bring their playful creativity to the Glenuig Hall with a special workshop and performance for children and families, exploring how music is communicated, written down, and described. After the workshop, all are welcome to join us for coffee (and a play!) outside the hall on the shores of Glenuig Bay.
Start time 11:00am. £5.00 Per Child (Accompanying Adults Free)

Woodlands & Waterwords at 1pm
Then at 13:00, the duo will perform a programme entitled “Woodlands & Waterwords” which explores the forests and the waterways of Scotland in Dopey Monkey’s usual - far from usual - groundbreaking fashion! Unlike their name suggests, this duo is one of the most intelligent, thought-provoking and creative brass duos on the international scene.
Start time 1:00pm, tickets £10 (under 16s free).
