HASTINGs FOLK FESTIVAL
Blackbird
The efforts of a passionate young man to keep alive the traditions in his sleepy village.
Director: Jamie Chambers
Cast includes: Norman Maclean and Sheila Stewart
The film follows the efforts of a passionate young man, Ruadhan, to keep alive the traditions in his sleepy village, where
the singing is scarce and the jobs are scarcer. Seeing new businesses arrive, and elderly bards and songsmiths die out or give up the ghost, Ruadhan takes it upon himself to fight back and prove that his past has a place in the future. Featuring legendary performers Norman Maclean and Sheila Stewart, Blackbird brings Scotland's most loved folk music and storytelling heroes to the big screen.
