BIT nervy, muttered Fife folk songwriter James Yorkston near the beginning of a show which was also the first of a tour to accompany his new record, The Route to the Harmonium. Still, this one doesn’t have any words, so I should be okay…

The venue offered a superb atmosphere for this folk-fusion delight: with large carousel-style seating and ceilings draped in bright fuchsia and turquoise it was an enchanting intimate setting.

Nimbly picking and gently swaying through solo delights B’s Jig and Surf Song, Yorkston looks like a man enjoying his moment.
