Open Hearth

Coorie on in, coorie doon…

All are welcome to come to these monthly sessions Margot Henderson and myself hosted monthly in 2023 in Forres, Moray.

6 monthly sessions were held from Jan – June 23.

Margot and myself usually each of us telling a story ourselves then we would open up the floor for anyone else to tell a story or sing a song. Small, unformed, and yet quite simply beautiful these evenings turned out to be. We have set a small fire going, though smooring rightnow we shall rekindle in 2024. Watch out for the dates for the more Open Hearth in 2024 in Forres.

“Coorie doon my darling” The Miner`s Lullaby by Mat McGinn (thanks to Forres Jim Gordon for guiding me to this gentle, powerful song)

(Scots word – to smoor the fire)
