Turntable is a pop-up music installation, which invites you to select and play a record from our collection and share the story of your choice in a one-to-one chat. Whilst in conversation, the song plays and connects with other people in the room, bringing people together through music and story. Join Daniel Abercrombie for an afternoon of music and chat ahead of the Men Don't Talk theatre performance.


This event carries on from the original concept created by MJ McCarthy, produced by Red Bridge Arts. Part of Easy Sundays, a monthly session of stories, music, community and friendship, where a warm welcome awaits with a variety of activities for all to enjoy. So come find a space to relax amongst friends, old and new.


Supported by the Thrive Network alongside the Scottish Storytelling Centre to create a warm and welcoming space for the community.
