The Small Halls Festival on the Isle of Skye stands alone in Scotland for its approach to performances and the way it integrates both community and artists. I was very happy indeed to have been invited up in November 2019 to do some live podcasting. This was a real treat for me, as I had the chance to pick the brains of some of my favourite musicians, inviting them to share some of their unique life experiences as well as their exceptional musical skills – all in front of a rapt local audience.<\/p>\n
This, the second and final of these special Small Halls Festival podcasts features another two very well known faces on the traditional music scenes.<\/p>\n
Fiddler\/composer Lauren MacColl and Fiddler\/composer\/guitarist\/singer Innes Watson have each carved their own unique notch onto the tree of modern Scottish Traditional Music.<\/p>\n
It was so great to hear them share some of their unique life experience and insight behind their work.<\/p>\n
It’s also always a huge delight to play music with these utterly superb musicians, and there’s plenty of that going on in this episode.<\/p>\n
Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
