STAGE TUBE: Edinburgh 2011 Festival Preview - The KIST

The KIST is the creation of international Scottish singer Fiona Kennedy. She wanted to produce a show that would really celebrate Scotland's musical heritage and act as a platform for Scotland's outstanding young talent.

The show is about Scottish people travelling to America with their kists and bringing their culture and heritage with them, and how it has filtered internationally. The show is a musical journey from traditional Scottish music to modern artists like Paolo Nutini and KT Tunstall. The cast are incredibly talented and have a wealth of experience in the industry - they come from all over Scotland including Airdrie, Aviemore, Dumfries, Motherwell, and the Isle of Skye.
