Legendary Scottish folk singer Karine Polwart is returning to the main stage at The Maltings in Berwick this Saturday, May 3 at 7.30pm.

2025 marks 25 years since Karine Polwart embraced a full-time career as a Scottish folk singer and 20 years since she scooped three BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards following her debut solo album, Faultlines.

Since then, she has become a multi-award-winning songwriter, theatre maker, broadcaster and storyteller – whose work evokes a richness of place, hidden histories, scientific enquiry and folklore.

This is a rare chance to enjoy an intimate, conversational solo performance. Expect a clutch of new songs and wonder tales, and an evening of curiosity and compassion.
