Company of Wolves presents a solo work by Anna Porubcansky.

Unbecoming is a performance about loss and rage, told by a woman and a mother.
Rage, at all we become when we don’t feel like we have a choice. Loss, of all we haven’t become.
And how we unbecome.

Using traditional song, soundscape, myth and movement, Unbecoming is a dreamworld, a rich and sublime
space where image, memory, desire and fear all reside. Watch a woman unravel, layer upon layer stripped away,
to reveal a human, unmasked. How much of what we are is what we’ve chosen to be?

“genuinely powerful … a captivating portrait of a woman caught in the dissonance of contradictory desires”
-The List

“Anna Porubcansky’s… looping and overlaying of recorded layers and real-time vocalisings echoed the complex
layers of a woman caught in a swithering vortex of choices and desires” – The Herald

“Gnoss are one of those rare birds in folk: a group you can name after hearing their first notes.” Folk Radio UK

Gnoss’ signature sound is a rich tapestry of acoustic layers; outstanding musicianship, deep traditional roots and contemporary compositional flair combine to create songs and tunes brimming with character.

Triple ‘Scots Trad Award’ nominees, the boys have built an invested following through their forward-thinking take on traditional music and the unique warmth of their live shows.This was proven most recently by their two back-to-back sellout appearances at Glasgow’s world-famous ‘Celtic Connections’ festival, with both their first headline show in 2020 and their most recent appearance in 2022 recreating their lock-down album ‘The Light of The Moon’.

Their 2019 release ‘Drawn From Deep Water’ was met with widespread praise (“A refreshing blast” – RnR) for its exemplary interplay, nakedly emotional playing, and well chosen material. The 11-track album brought Gnoss to entranced audiences across France, Italy, Denmark, and Russia, not to mention the length and breadth of Britain.

Their follow up album, ‘The Light of The Moon’ continued to demonstrate Gnoss’ dedication to their craft that places them firmly at the fore of what’s happening in Scottish folk and earned them a nomination for ‘Album of the year’ at the Scots Trad Music Awards.

Gnoss combines the talents of;
Aidan Moodie (Guitar/Vocals)
Graham Rorie (Fiddle/Mandolin/Electric Tenor Guitar)
Connor Sinclair (Flute/Whistles/Vocals)
Craig Baxter (Bodhran/Percussion)
