This is to be celebrated in Tarbert (Loch Fyne), Argyll, with a series of music, art and language workshops throughout 2015, culminating in a concert of new music and an art\/photography exhibition on 5 December 2015.<\/p>\n<p>A significant proportion of Hay\u2019s poetry focuses on Tarbert (Loch Fyne) and Kintyre. Hay describes beautifully the areas in and around Tarbert, Loch Fyne, the glens, hills and forests. And as poet of the sea and frequent guest on fishing boats to the fishing grounds of the Clyde, much of Hay\u2019s poetry depicts sea journeys, the lives of fishermen, treacherous seas, and frequent references to the gannet or solan.<\/p>\n<p>The George Campbell Hay Centenary Celebration aims to celebrate, appreciate and share the brilliance of George Campbell Hays\u2019 poetry, by creating new music, new art and photography to depict Hay\u2019s work, and by rediscovering some of the languages in which Hay wrote.<\/p>\n<p>With workshops covering themes including Gaelic, Scots, Music, Vocal, Choral, Art and Photography, participants will be able to perform or create new works and new depictions of Hay\u2019s poetry; all with the aim of getting more people interested in and appreciating Hay\u2019s works. Walks focusing on scenes depicted in Hay\u2019s poetry will also be organised. Signboards using artwork\/photography produced during the year will be erected at various points in Tarbert and QR codes at these signboards will enable smartphone users to find links to Hay\u2019s poems, new music, artwork and photography relevant to that part of the walk.<\/p>\n<p>A final part of the centenary celebration will be a book and accompanying CD, \u2018In the footsteps of George Campbell Hay\u2019. This will include some of Hay\u2019s poetry, new music, and new art and photography that depict his poetry visually.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"tribe_events\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1425549404\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"George Campbell Hay Centenary Celebration Concert\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/scotlandsings\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tarbert celebrates George Campbell Hay Centenary with new music and art In December 2015 it will be a hundred years since the birth one of Scotland\u2019s most prolific poets: George [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":3558,"template":"","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-3555","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/scotlandsings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/3555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/scotlandsings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/scotlandsings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/scotlandsings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/scotlandsings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/3555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/scotlandsings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/scotlandsings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/scotlandsings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3555"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/scotlandsings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=3555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
