Award-winning singer and composer will take to the stage at Gartmore Village Hall supported by Aberfoyle based traditional music group Abtrad.

Kim Carnie, has featured on some of the UK’s biggest stages as well as across the world via film and computer game soundtrack, from Netflix’s 'Outlaw King’ and ‘Black Mirror’ to Hallmark’s ‘A Scottish Love Scheme’. Since launching her solo career in 2018, Kim has become one of the most sought-after singers and session vocalists that Scotland has to offer, having worked with producers such as Jim Sutherland (Salmon Fishing in the Yemen), Donald Shaw (Capercaillie) and Ged Grimes (Simple Minds). In 2019 and 2020, she joined bands Mànran and Staran, respectively, as lead singer. 

In 2024, Kim was honoured when invited to join the prestigious Transatlantic Sessions tour (2024) led by MD and sixteen-time GRAMMY award-winner, Jerry Douglas. The tour saw Carnie take to stage with country royalty, Carlene Carter (daughter of June Carter Cash), and folk and bluegrass stars Lindsay Lou and Joshua Burnside.

2022 saw the release of her debut album ‘And So We Gather’ winning the German Critics Choice award and was shortlisted for MG Alba’s Album of the Year. Recognised as one of the 'biggest folk and Gaelic records of the generation’, Kim brought together some of the biggest names on the Scottish music scene, from Julie Fowlis to Donald Shaw. The ‘debut masterpiece’ also celebrated her love for world-music, featuring Senegalese Kora player Kadialy Kouyate and award-winning saxophonist Matt Carmichael.  

The 2021 Gaelic Singer of the Year recipient, Carnie is also a widely respected composer, and has been commissioned to compose music for the Edinburgh Storytelling Centre, the Blas Festival, Piping Live as well as multiple computer-game companies and has recently released a documentary called Kim Carnie Out Loud reflecting on the impact that a secret six year same-sex relationship had on her.

Queer Climate Justice Zine Making

Queer Climate Justice Zine Making

Forth Valley Climate Action Hub are excited to partner with Coin Operated Press and The Stirling Reuse Hub for this interactive workshop following Stirling Pride

A zine is a self-published, small-circulation booklet or magazine, often created by hand or with digital tools. Unlike mainstream publications, zines embrace a DIY approach and independent spirit, offering a unique platform for personal expression and grassroots creativity.

All workshop materials are provided by Coin Operated Press. This includes paper, scissors, glue, Sharpies, washi tape, felt pens, coloured pencils, and a large selection of collage materials, but we also encourage participants to bring their own materials if they want to add a more personal touch to their zines! We will also have plenty of reuse supplies on hand from both the reuse hub and FEL Scotland.

If participants would be happy for us to reproduce a few copies of their Zines at the end of the workshop we would love to invite additions to our Climate Action Library.

Refreshments and vegetarian and vegan light supper will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring anything additionally if they would like to.

If you would like any more info around accessibility please be in touch Climate@FELScotland.org
