Others related thematically (the textile industry in Glasgow and Lahore, bird and animal imagery illustrating wider subjects). We brought together music with a tradition or function (a pipe march to be played at the end of the day, and a song to bring rain), contrasted songs and poetry from female and male perspectives, and explored their use of metaphor (spinning wheels and anthropomorphised alcohol).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sarah Hayes and Sara Kazmi: Nancy Whisky \/ Tere Naoon Da Roon\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vP1fet6lq0I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Read the rest of the blog <a href=\"http:\/\/highlightarts.org\/workshops-weaving-whisky\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Download Sarah&#8217;s &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/folkwaves\/when-first-i-came-to-caledonia-by-sarah-hayes\/\">When I First Came To Caledonia<\/a>&#8221;\u00a0to play on your radio show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"follow-cat-feed\"> Follow these topics: <a  href=\"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/folkwaves\/category\/news\/feed\/\">News<\/a><\/p><div id=\"downloadinfo-panel\" style=\"display: block;max-height: 200px;overflow: scroll;width: 100%;margin-bottom:15px\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is an excerpt of a blog from singer and flautist Sarah Hayes for Highlight Arts on a project with Lahore singer Sara Kazmi.
