From polar voyages to the living sea. A voyage through sound, endurance, and reflection. To mark 125 years since Sir Ernest Shackleton first set sail on the Discovery with Captain Scott, Georgia unveils a powerful new album and tour rooted in history, music, and the sea.
Central to the album is The Shackleton Violin. An extraordinary instrument crafted from the floorboards of Shackleton’s former Edinburgh home. Its voice, carrying the weight of endurance, discovery, and adventure, was captured in the recording process during sessions aboard the historic RSS Discovery in Dundee, connecting the music directly to the spirit of exploration.
Georgia is joined by guitarist Aaren Bennett. Together they present music composed for our oceans and their struggling marine life, interwoven with songs written by Shackleton and his fellow explorers during their expeditions. The result is an evocative blend of history and contemporary reflection. A journey through sound that honours both the past and the urgent stories of today’s seas.
Support will be by Dave Artus and Erica Banks. Dave sings and plays guitar accompanied by Erica on fiddle. They play songs written by Dave, and fiddle tunes from Erica's Scottish roots, and some familiar songs from other sources.
