Epic stage story
Epic Stage Story launched in 2018 with the aim of celebrating the lives of those who have transformed, connected with, or programmed in, our communities over the past 20 years and more.
Part of The Touring Network’s 20th Anniversary year, the project gathered stories from promoters, visiting performers and audience members to tell the history of live events in the Highlands and Islands, from the 1970s right up until the present day.
