Lockdown has not been easy for musicians and younger musicians in particular have not had the opportunities to get out and play and try new ideas after finishing their various qualifications. Hands Up for Trad, Stonehaven Folk Club and Celtic Connections have come together to give an opportunity to seven young musicians to make a new piece of music. They can take pieces from the tradition or write new music – it’s up to them! The music will be performed by a band of their peers and the musical director is pianist Rory Matheson. It will be a great concert from the next generation of musicians. Find out more about the concert how to watch it here.
The composers are:
The house band are Graham Rorie (fiddle/mandolin), Charlie Stewart (bass), Scott Turnbull (guitar), Steven Stark (percussion/drums)
