Multi instrumentalists and festival favourites, The Shee, have reached the ten-year milestone in their action-packed career, and intend to celebrate by creating a brand new body of original work.<\/p>\n

Following three albums and a hectic touring schedule, the six members of the band have each approached a composer hero to write an original piece of music ahead of a prestigious premiere at Celtic Connections 2016.<\/p>\n

The composers will then join The Shee on stage to introduce their piece and perform with the band as each is performed for the first time.<\/p>\n

The composers are, in alphabetical order:<\/p>\n

Andy Cutting
\nBrian Finnegan
\nKarine Polwart
\nMartin Simpson
\nKathryn Tickell
\nChris Wood<\/p>\n

The Shee\u2019s accordionist, Amy Thatcher, said: \u2018We can\u2019t quite believe our luck: we\u2019re getting some of the most influential musicians and composers on the current British folk scene to write original music for us. It\u2019s going to be an incredible experience, and the perfect way to celebrate ten years of making music as The Shee.\u2019<\/p>\n

Following the premiere at Celtic Connections on 15 January 2016, the band will head back to the studio to work on a new album for release later that year.<\/p>\n
