Rachel Sermanni is taking to the road this autumn in support of her album Live in Dawson City, due for release in early October. The 22-year-old folk-noir balladeer recorded the live album
in Yukon at the prestigious Dawson City Music Festival. She has been singing her songs since leaving school at 17: channelling spirits of all ages and archetypes; weaving images of childhood, womenhood, of instinct and inhibition simply with the breath from her lungs, a hardy Martin guitar
and a bandolim called Sue. Sermanni first visited Shetland as the support act for Mumford & Sons, before an acclaimed solo performance at Mareel in summer 2013. This time she will be accompanied by Jennifer Austin on piano and Colin Macleod on guitar. She has also supported
several wonderful songwriters including Elvis Costello, John Grant and Ron Sexsmith.

GHAZI HUSSEINBorn to a family in exile from Palestine, Ghazi Hussein was first imprisoned at the age of 14. He was never charged but was 'guilty of carrying thoughts'. Repeatedly imprisoned and tortured over the next 20 years, he says that poetry saved his sanity. Ghazi eventually arrived in Britain with his children in 2000.
A teacher and lecturer who studied philosophy and Arabic grammar, Ghazi's asylum case was originally deemed 'unfounded'. After a three year legal battle, medical evidence of the torture he had endured led to Ghazi and his family being granted refugee status with indefinite leave to stay.
Although Ghazi and his family have been subjected to physical and verbal racial abuse during their stay in Scotland, he says 'If I still remained in my place of birth.....my voice would be silenced. Here in Scotland I have the opportunity to tell my story, one which I believe is important and relevant to what is happening across the world at
this time'.
IAN STEPHENIan Stephen is a writer, artist and sailor from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. He studied English, Drama and Education at Aberdeen University where he graduated in 1980 with a B Ed. (with distinction) and Hons in English. After 15 years in the coastguard service, he resigned in 1995, to work full-time in the arts.
Since the late 70s his wide-ranging work has been published in numerous UK journals, as well as internationally, in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, Switzerland and the USA.
Ian was the inaugural winner of the Christian Salvesen/Robert Louis Stevenson award and he was the first artist in residence at StAnza, Scotland's annual poetry festival. The practice of navigating through the geography of stories has been a key element of his work across the arts since a Creative Scotland Award in 2002.

RON BUTLINWith an international reputation as a prize-winning novelist, Ron Butlin is a former Edinburgh Makar / Poet Laureate (2008-2014). In 2009 he was made the first ever Honorary Writing fellow (together with Ian Rankin) at Edinburgh University. Much of his poetry, as well as many of his novels and short stories, have been broadcast and translated into over a dozen languages. In addition to his plays for BBC radio and theatre (most recently Sweet Dreams for Oran Mor in Glasgow), he has written six operas, three of them for Scottish Opera.
ROSEANNE WATTRoseanne Watt is a 23 year old poet, filmmaker and musician from the Shetland Islands. She recently graduated from the University of Stirling with a first class BA (Hons) in Film & English Studies.

THE CURATORS
LOUIS KEOGHOriginally from outside Glasgow, Louis arrived in Shetland in 1972 looking for a summer holiday. He is determined not to leave until he gets one. He worked for a number of years on the periphery of the oil industry but is currently employed by a local charity who would prefer that their name not be mentioned. Louis has recently commenced working on his first novel, one of the early Enid Blyton ones. This task has not proved quite as easy as he had anticipated. He is however prepared to persevere
FRANKIE VALENTEPassionate about literature from an early age Frankie Valente is the author of three bestselling novels, Dancing with the Ferryman, Chasing an Irish Dream and Learning to Dance Again; as well as being a regular columnist for The Shetland Times and Shetland Life magazine. She is about to finish her fourth novel, entitled Dreaming in Norwegian, a contemporary romance set in Shetland and Norway. She also provides writing, editing and publishing advice to other writers.
PETER RATTERPeter Ratter is a Shetlander born and bred from the north of the mainland, currently studying literature at the UHI whilst working as a part-time security guard. He developed a keen interest in creative writing whilst attending Brae High School, being taught by local poet Jim Mainland, and he writes bits and pieces when he can, (sometimes in the local dialect.) He has seen the Wordplay festival in varying degrees before, and is very thrilled to have the opportunity to serve as one of the curators this year, considering the excellent mixture or poets and prose writers taking part, both local and abroad. He says that someday he’ll manage to tempt George R.R. Martin to attend, perhaps by swaying with him with some bannocks. We can dream.

Doors: 7pm, Start: 7.30pm
Andrea’s solo performance features all of Dolly’s most well known songs, as well as country standards and more up to date Dolly tracks.

Andrea uses state of the art PA and lighting and since most of the backing tracks featured in the show were recorded by the band, the high musical standard is maintained.
