| Feb 18th Sat | Tattie Jam | Bridgwater Arts Centre, Bridgwater Tattie Jam (Seylan Baxter & Ruaridh Pringle) offer a distinctive brew of songs, from dark ballads and protest songs to kinetic jigs and reels. Plundered from Scotland’s rich musical tradition or written by Ruaridh, much of their material's given a playful or funky contemporary twist, and the fact both musicians harmonise vocals whilst playing elements of lead, rhythm and percussion give Tattie Jam a sound that's quite unmistakable.
