Bob Pegg words ~ music ~ place contact: catsback@gmail.com This page will probably always be a bit shambolic. Its purpose is in part to give a general idea of what I’m up to at any  particular moment, and also to give information about specific events which will be happening in the future. I’ll do my  best to keep it updated.  If you need more information about anything on here (or anywhere else on the site), please email me on  catsback@gmail.com, or phone 01997 421186. I’ll be happy to help.  At present I’m busy writing and recording the music for the next production of Highland-based Zenwing Puppets, which  is based on an Inuit legend. I’m also composing the soundtrack music for a documentary about Celtic Stone Heads by  Middlesbrough film maker Graham Williamson.  Another music project is to make a CD of songs for the Folk Police label. This is quite an undertaking. It’s 15 years  since my last song CD (The Last Wolf for Rhiannon Records), so I’m experimenting with how best to present a range of  hitherto  unrecorded songs stretching back to the 1970s. Getting there slowly.  For March 2012 I’m working in Sutherland with members of youth clubs and upper primary children on a Scottish Book  Trust funded project called All Different, All Equal - using writing, illustration and good, old fashioned storytelling to  explore themes of social, gender, race and sexual equality.  On Sunday 29th April I shall be leading afternoon and early evening sessions in Cannich Village Hall, starting with a  “make your own storybook” workshop, followed by high tea, and finishing with a performance of the musical instrument  show Roots and Flutes..  On Saturday 18 May the Museum of the Isles at Clan Donald Skye, in Armadale, will be hosting a performance of my  show People of the Sea.  I was delighted to be asked by Feis Rois to lead storytelling workshops during the Adult Feis, which takes place over  the weekend 4th - 7th May.  My book of Highland Folk Tales, for the History Press County Folk Tales series, will be published on April 1st 2012. This  is a nice way celebrating the last 15 years or so I’ve spent in the Highlands, organising storytelling events, and  researching and telling their stories. Highland Folk Tales links story to place, and takes the form of a series of journeys  through different parts of the Highlands, taking in the tales along the way. The book has stories from many different  sources - Celtic, Norse, Traveller, even Pictish - but however ancient they are, they’re all very much alive, in that I’ve  heard them told, or tell them myself.  Highland Folk Tales has around 40 illustrations by John Hodkinson, whose work you can also see on the “Gallery” page  on this site. A couple of my favourites are below - The King of the Cats and The Poisoned Shirt.
