Delusions
This world-premiere collaboration brings together two of Scotland’s most distinctive artistic voices: award-winning poet Len Pennie and BAFTA-winning composer Paul Leonard-Morgan.
In this striking new collection of songs on love, loss, and the fragile myths we build around ourselves, Pennie’s powerful words are framed by Leonard-Morgan’s evocative sound world.
About the Artists
Len Pennie is one of Scotland’s most vital contemporary poets. Writing predominantly in Scots, her work champions minority languages, gives voice to survivors of domestic abuse, and challenges the stigma surrounding mental illness. Both of her bestselling poetry collections, poyums and poyums annaw, reached The Sunday Times charts, with poyums earning the Discover Award at the 2025 British Book Awards.
Paul Leonard-Morgan is a renowned composer whose work spans concert music, theatre, film, television, and interactive media. Known for seamlessly blending orchestral writing with electronics, he is one of today’s most in-demand soundtrack composers. His credits include Dredd, Limitless, Tales from the Loop, his collaborations with Philip Glass (The Green Veil, The Pigeon Tunnel), and the video game Cyberpunk 2077. He has been honoured with a
BAFTA Award, as well as Emmy, Ivor Novello, and World Soundtrack Award nominations.
