The Strathspey King

Work:: The Strathspey King (S2116043848)

Adapted from the international award-winning series for BBC Radio Scotland, The Strathspey King is based on the life of Scotland's greatest fiddling hero, James Scott-Skinner (1843-1927). This one man play follows the career of an extraordinary individual - from rigorous childhood origins to worldwide fame. From his birth in Banchor, Scott-Skinner's is a life journey packed with incident, through triumph, madness and scandal, and tells the story of the undying love of Scottish music and compelling ambition of a man whose self-styled motto was: Talent does what it can; Genius does what it must.
