Hands Up for Trad TV: In Conversation with Su-a Lee

March 28, 2025 By simon Leave a Comment

Join us for an engaging interview with celebrated cellist Su-a Lee, one of Scotland’s most versatile and charismatic musicians. Su-a discusses her remarkable debut solo album “Dialogues”, which features duets with 15 of her favourite folk musicians and celebrates decades of musical friendships.

In this conversation, we explore Su-a’s journey from classical training to becoming a pivotal figure in Scotland’s traditional music scene. She shares insights about her recent vinyl release, her sold-out Celtic Connections 2024 concert, and her extensive work with both the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and innovative ensemble Mr. McFall’s Chamber.

Discover how Su-a bridges multiple musical worlds – from performing with rock icons like Eric Clapton to collaborating with folk luminaries such as Julie Fowlis and Phil Cunningham.
