During the performance, Maggie will present contemporary arrangements of songs from a previously unreleased archive. This collection of around 180 songs was recorded in the 1950s and 60s by the late Australian folklorist Dr James Kalokerinos. The material features traditional songs that were helped to popularise by Maggie's mother, Flora MacNeil MBE, who was a traditional singer from the island of Barra, alongside various rare gems.

Maggie will be joined on stage by several musicians from Scotland, including cellist Wendy Weatherby, keyboardist Dan Brown, percussionist Alex Palmer, and Ailis Sutherland on pipes, whistle, and flute. The ensemble also includes Maggie's son, Calum Park, who will perform on guitar and fiddle, as well as provide backing vocals.
