Music from Portuguese queer electro-pop punk duo Tender Bender;
Two classically trained singers from England and Scotland, Rylan Gleave and Harrison Knights;
Songs from the Scottish Highlands by Sarah Fanet;

As well as live performances, there will be artworks, films, an exhibition and more, as part of a promenade installation taking audience members around Tramway and The Hidden Gardens.
