ONE of Scotland’s most iconic singer-songwriters, Horse McDonald, is to visit Cove Burgh Hall next weekend.

Horse, whose nine albums have won worldwide acclaim, will play live at the community-run venue on Friday, March 6 at 8pm.

An iconic and utterly unique singer/songwriter, Horse’s voice is described as ‘a finely honed instrument’ – and together with ‘breathtaking stagecraft’, make her live performances occasions not to be missed.

Since striking her first record deal with EMI/Capitol in the early 1990s, Horse has released nine albums, including The Same Sky and God’s Home Movie, the latter on the MCA/Universal label.

Her current album, Home, was released on her own label Randan Records.

In addition to writing and performing, Horse also produces work for other artists - sharing her immense expertise and experience.
