We asked Tina of Tina Jordan Rees the following questions.
Tell us about yourself
Hello. I'm Tina. I'm originally from Lancashire but have been living in Glasgow for many years now. I am a musician and composer playing piano, flute and whistles. I love writing upbeat, feel-good music that makes you want to dance.
Why are you involved in Scottish music?
It makes me feel good to play, hear and be involved in Scottish music. I love the music and the people.
Any particular career highlights?
A highlight for me has to be releasing my debut flute and whistle album of all my own compositions this year, accompanied by a tune book. I'm really proud of them.
What are your plans for the future?
There are a few projects I'd love to do in the future. I'd love to make a piano album, another Irish dance music album, and another flute and whistle album but with a bit of a different flavour this time.
