Greetings From Gartnavel

Greetings From Gartnavel is the striking new live performance from Scottish songwriter Amy Duncan, with lyrics by David Paton. Written partly during David’s time in a psychiatric ward, the songs reveal a rare and moving perspective on living with schizophrenia.

The music is characterised by sparse, atmospheric arrangements that highlight both fragility and strength, mirroring the light and dark within the stories. Duncan’s voice and instrumentation create an intimate connection with audiences, drawing them into an emotional landscape that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.

With support from Creative Scotland Duncan’s work is performance-ready and adaptable to a wide range of venues and contexts. Greetings From Gartnavel offers programmers a powerful, export-ready production that engages audiences with urgent themes of mental health and resilience delivered through compelling artistry and musical depth.
