After decades of beloved otherworldly live shows, music, story telling, magic, and games, Julian Koster (Neutral Milk Hotel) and Music Tapes co-founder Robbie Cucchiaro come to Scotland for their first appearances in over 2 years, in these special duo-shows— featuring material drawing from their entire musical catalogue, and cult favorite musical the Orbiting Human Circus, a fiction narrative podcast presented by Nightvale, created by Koster and produced by NPR/WNYC.

Line Up
The Music Tapes (Julian Koster of Neutral Milk Hotel)
Martha Ffion is the musical project of Glasgow-based Irish songwriter Claire Martha Ffion McKay. Building on the promise she showed with her first self-released EP, Go in 2014, Martha’s sound has continued to bloom, leading to her signing with Turnstile – home to Cate Le Bon, Gruff Rhys and more. Her recent releases, Wallflower and We Disappear - featured on new EP 'Trip'- showcase her unique style, where classic 60s songwriting meets dream pop, justifying the hugely impressive support Martha Ffion has already received from Marc Riley, Jo Whiley, Mary Anne Hobbs, Huw Stephens and John Kennedy.
Following festival appearances at End of the Road and Latitude, Martha Ffion completed a successful UK tour in October 2016 with support from PRS for Music Foundation‘s Women Make Music initiative. With GoldFlakePaint citing Martha Ffion as “an artist that seems ready-made for wider acclaim” and Clash calling her “an intriguing talent” this is one of the most promising young artists around.
