Lilies on the Land

By the Lion’s part

Director Eloner Crawford

Performed as a radio play

Presented by Duns Players

This funny, gripping, and often heartbreaking play charts the personal journeys of four very different women who sign up to become Land Girls, determined to “do their bit” for King and Country. They worked on farms all over Britain. long backbreaking hours, in all kinds of weather, far from home and unfamiliar with farm life, outsiders in these challenging circumstances: clothes full of mice, slurry in their boots, lambing, milking, harvesting, sustained by their camaraderie and sheer strength of character.

Based on hundreds of letters and interviews with the original WW2 Land Girls, this play is a tribute to the ‘unsung’ heroes of Britain’s Women’s Land Army, sometimes called the forgotten army. Their stories are animated with songs and broadcasts from the period.

Chameleon Lady are the latest big noise from Edinburgh with their exciting brand of Folk/Pop/Rock, featuring a fantastic line-up of multi-instrumentalists and extraordinary vocalists.

CHAMELEON LADY were formed at school near Edinburgh by childhood friends Robbie Hutchison and Cameron Middlemass. After the usual revolving door members for a year, they eventually recruited their siblings from Uni to settle on a stable line-up of creative multi-instrumentalists and extraordinary vocalists.

A period of development took place as CHAMELEON LADY experimented as songwriters, performers and producers. As a live band, they got their act together by playing music bars, soon becoming match-fit for festivals around Scotland and France, as well as self-promoted sell-out gigs in response to their growing fan base. Pre-Pandemic, the band appeared on the same festival bills as The Darkness, The Noisettes and supported Skerryvore at the Tivoli Theatre in Aberdeen at Hogmanay 2019. During lockdown, CHAMELEON LADY began writing their newest material. At the first opportunity, the band got in the same room, refined, arranged and recorded this lockdown inspired material and released it as an EP called ’11 Waverley Road’. The band has received a great reception to their fresh sound with online streams and energetic audiences at live performances.

CHAMELEON LADY now have a brand-new single ‘Beasts Down Below’. The song follows in the same vein as their recently released EP but taps into their Scottish roots with a blasting folk-rock instrumental section that is sure to encourage a toe-tap at the very least.
