A member of Fiddlers’ Bid and Salsa Celtica, with a degree in electro-acoustic music and a BBCSSO commission under his belt, Shetland fiddler Chris Stout dislikes pigeonholes.
His free-ranging musical vision reaches new heights of expression on his latest album ‘Devil’s Advocate’, featuring tonight’s line-up of Fraser Fifield (saxophone), Catriona McKay (clarsach/piano), Malcolm Stitt (guitar) and Neil Harland (double bass).
“Their invention and rhythmic power set the benchmark for the full band sets to come, and the momentum never faltered.” (The Scotsman)
The exquisite voice and interpretative gifts that saw Emily Smith named Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2002 are nowadays increasingly aligned with her own award-winning compositions. Accompanied here by her regular band on fiddle, guitar, banjo and bass, she’ll be previewing tracks form her upcoming third album.
Opening the show will be 17-year-old Cardross fiddler Ryan Young, winner of a 2007 Danny Kyle Award.
