We are delighted to announce the arrival of Joe Goodkin, the modern bard, in Edinburgh for his extraordinary rendition of Homer's Odyssey. Prepare to be captivated by Joe Goodkin's unique interpretation of this timeless epic, as he presents his 35-minute original musical composition for solo acoustic guitar and voice. Drawing on his Bachelor's Degree in Classics from the esteemed University of Wisconsin-Madison, Joe combines his profound understanding of the ancient text with his talent as a professional musician to deliver a contemporary musical experience that pays homage to the original oral tradition in which the Odyssey was conceived.

Part lecture, part musical performance, and part interactive discussion, Joe's programme offers a truly immersive encounter with Odysseus' legendary adventures. The focal point of the evening is a mesmerizing performance of 24 original songs, each inspired by the extraordinary exploits of the hero. From his encounters with mythical creatures to his triumphant return home, Joe's lyrics vividly bring to life the essence of the Odyssey.

Joe has received international acclaim for his mastery of this remarkable piece, having performed it over 360 times across North America and Europe. Now, for the first time, he will be gracing the UK with his presence, starting with a captivating performance in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. Join us at the University of Edinburgh's Adam House Basement Theatre on April 25, 2024, for an unforgettable evening of music and engaging discussions.

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
