Deconstructed traditional folk– the Smallpipe
Scottish folk star Malin Lewis brings a new solo project to The Stade Hall in Hastings on Saturday 21 March. In a trailblazing new solo work, Malin deep dives into a hypnotic envisioned world of ancient Scottish folk music on fiddle and a newly invented, self-made bagpipe.

Exploring laments, improvisation, circular melody, jigs and reels, Malin performs an entrancing cycle of melodies that deconstruct and redefine the traditions they grew up within. Having toured across the UK, Canada and Europe, Malin released their celebrated debut album Halocline in May 2024 on Hudson Records. A halocline is a visible layer that forms between salt and fresh water, and is home to a unique microbial ecosystem. Malin’s unique timbre is born from the deep connection that comes from making and composing for their own instrument. Their one of a kind two-octave smallpipe creates a whole new world of sound, captivating audiences at every opportunity.
