Moon Dreams / Esther Swift
Mill On The Fleet, Gatehouse of Fleet, DG7 2HS
Thursday 29th October 2026 7:30PM
Esther’s performance is at once virtuosic and tender, dramatic and meditative—summoning the old and the new through both familiar and unexpected harmonic shifts, melodies rooted in tradition yet boldly innovative, and vocals that soar with emotional intensity.
Esther Swift brings her new EP Moon Dreams to Dumfriesshire for the first time. The EP highlights her captivating solo performance with harp and voice in its first three tracks, followed by remixes from her acclaimed album Expectations of a Lifetime, forming a striking contrast in the EP’s second half.
The opening track, Hope, is a heartfelt call for love and connection. The title track, Moon Dreams, evokes the romance of nature’s cycles—its pushes and pulls. The third track is a reimagining of Dream Angus, a traditional Scottish lullaby that reflects both the beauty and hardship of rural life in Scotland.
“Celestial.” — Shamira Ahmed, Front Row.
“Björk-esque” ★★★★★ - Edinburgh Reporter.
“Luscious, righteous, furious and funny” - the Scots magazine.
