Our wintertime show features Robert Service’s “Cremation of Sam McGee”, a tall tale from the frozen north, and “The Smoke-Shovelling Song”, a tall tale song from the frozen Edinburgh. Dylan and the Kinks and RLS, of course, and also Leonard Cohen and Randy Newman. But don’t take my word for it – come and attend for yourself.
