We asked Isla of TRIP<\/strong> the following questions.<\/p>\n

Tell us about yourself<\/strong>
\nWe are TRIP, a six-piece trad band based in Glasgow who bring together the musical traditions of Scotland, Ireland, Northumbria and the Isle of Man. Our music is all about celebrating our traditional roots whilst bringing our own contemporary flair to it.<\/p>\n

Why are you involved in Scottish music?<\/strong>
\nWe all moved to Glasgow from different places and it has become a musical home to us all. The Scottish traditional music scene is rich and thriving and being a part of it connects us to our own music and culture as well as an international community beyond Scotland.<\/p>\n

Any particular career highlights?<\/strong>
\nA career highlight for us this year was Celtic Connections. We were involved in a collaboration with The Scottish Dance Theatre and an ensemble of fantastic Scottish musicians. A track from our debut album was used as part of the collaboration 'Moving Cloud', which was also featured in the 30th anniversary opening concert. It was totally surreal to play our music in the Royal Concert Hall accompanied by some of our favourite musicians and a dance company!<\/p>\n

What are your plans for the future?<\/strong>
\nPlans are underway for a second album and we're working on some new music for that. It feels like we've really found a new sound with our new material and that's really exciting!<\/p>\n
