Off the Page Ceilidh

Our Off the Page Ceilidh is back with music from the Riverside Ceilidh Band and words and music in Gaelic and English from Owen Sutcliffe. The night will be a celebration of Scottish music and dance interspersed with literary anecdotes in Gaelic and English.

Owen Sutcliffe was born and grew up in Stirling, in a household full of music.

An accomplished poet in both English and Gaelic, Owen also performs as hip-hop emcee CRPNTR, staking his claim in the currently thriving Scottish rap scene.

Having won the 2011 Sorley McLean National Poetry Prize for his poem – ‘Beul an Latha’ (The Mouth of the Day) – Owen subsequently moved to Ayr and University in order to expand his horizons.

After an acclaimed performance at previous year’s Off The Page, Owen will return this year to perform a selection of his Gaelic and English poetry, and perhaps even a song or two; you’d be wise to see what all the fuss is about.
