Big Sky.

'Scotland's Peter and the Wolf' (Sunday Herald). Part of the Made in Scotland 2013 programme. Big Sky presents Gerda Stevenson narrating and seven of Scotland's finest traditional musicians in a captivating musical adventure written in Scots by James Robertson, with music composed by James Ross. "This is the tale o a young laddie called Neil…" When Neil gets lost in the deep, dark forest what can his animal friends do to help him get home before the Urisk finds him? Music, songs, fun and just a wee bit scary too. ★★★★ (Scotsman). www.theboyandthebunnet.com / www.madeinscotlandshowcase.com. Ages 3+.
