General Musical Awesomeness

Time to dangle some more musical carrots before your inquisitive little noses (and ears). This time around at Hidden Door we’re delighted to be showcasing some top-notch musical talent from all over Scotland, including the foot-stomping energy of Glasgow-based Washington Irving and the magical soundscapes of Dundee-based Esperi.

And the thing that makes Hidden Door so unique is the emphasis on collaboration. One of the many highlights of Hidden Door 2 is set to be an epic 4-band collaborative set, performed for the first time ever on 4 of our sculpted stages and brought to you by some of Glasgow’s most talked-about acts: Jo Mango, Bear Bones, Open Swimmer, and The Social Services. Nobody knows yet quite what it’s going to sound like but we do have some inside information and we can tell you it’s going to involve at least 14 voices, two drum-kits, a smattering of guitars, one omnichord, two clarinets, one shruti box, two glockenspiels, one autoharp, one accordion, one harmonium, three bass guitars, one set of hand bells, one trumpet, one melodica, one banjo, one kalimba, one ukelele and at least one saxophone. Wowzing. Don’t miss it, good people.
