Rediscover Michael Marra in a restored tribute to a Dundee legend, followed by a Q&A discussion

Celebrate the music, and legacy of Michael Marra with an exclusive screening of his live performance at the Bonar Hall, Dundee in 2000.

It features songs from Marra’s extensive back catalogue, such as Hermless, Frida Kahlo's Visit to the Taybridge Bar and If Dundee was Africa as well as his own versions of classics by Hoagy Carmichael, Cole Porter and Robert Burns. Intimate, poetic, and deeply rooted in Scottish culture with every chord, every lyric, and every laugh capturing the spirit of a musician whose work remains timeless.

This newly edited and restored version, in collaboration with DJCAD, University of Dundee enhances the visual experience, while preserving the energy and warmth of the original sound recording by Inner City Sound that made it so special.

This screening is being held in conjunction with the release of A Can of Mind and A Tin of Think So, a limited-edition box set celebrating the archive of Michael Marra, a collaboration between DJCAD University of Dundee, DOJ City Audio Print Publishing and Assai Records.
