What's On - Beth Malcolm: Folkmosis

Beth Malcolm is a Tayside singer-songwriter who performs a mix of traditional, modern and her own original Scots songs. Beth spent her childhood in a house filled with singing, soaking up old Scots songs like a wee folky sponge. She was named Scots Singer Of The Year in 2022 and again in 2024.

Kissed and Cried, Beth’s debut album, was released in 2023 to great acclaim and this massively talented young artist now returns with her new show and album, Folkmosis, a musical coming-of-age story that has been writing itself since before Beth could speak.

A multi-media performance, Folkmosis unfolds over three acts embracing traditional and new songs, film and spoken word; the story bending and twisting against a shifting soundscape.

Act 1 is rooted in the traditional world, like the classic folk songs Beth grew up listening to. Act 2 follows her 'rejection years', where she dove into the rich voices of Amy Winehouse, Paolo Nutini and London Grammar. These love songs, sung from the chaos of modern life, were the soundtrack to angsty, heartfelt late teenage years. Act 3 is Beth’s coming of age, her coming home, to the songs and sounds of Scotland, as a now-grown woman.
