Event 14 - Sounds Of Folk : Roo & Neil

Roo Geddes and Neil Sutcliffe combine their shared experience across Classical, Folk and Jazz to create original music for violin and accordion. Based in Glasgow, their compositions are inspired by landscape and people and by the ways in which music can evoke a sense of place and community.

They first met aged 13, as students of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s Juniors’ School. The duo is quickly gaining recognition and in 2021 were selected by Celtic Connection's prestigious ‘Danny Kyle Award’ and way from their instruments, they share a love of hillwalking, tree climbing, and all things outdoors.
