The Luke Daniels Trio With Amy Laurenson and Support

The Luke Daniels Trio brings together three distinctive voices in contemporary folk music, combining virtuosic musicianship, inventive arrangements and a deep connection to traditional music inspired by the button accordion style of the early 20th Century.

Led by award-winning folk musician and composer Luke Daniels (accordion/guitar/vocals), the trio features Matt Tighe (fiddle) and Luc McNally (guitar/vocals), creating a dynamic sound between tradition and innovation.

Their Celtic Connections appearance will celebrate the launch of their new EP, Poll Ha’Penny, showcasing the trio’s musical chemistry and fresh approach to folk music.They are joined by special guest Amy Laurenson, the virtuosic pianist from Shetland and former BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year.

A First-Class Honours graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Amy has performed internationally at major festivals including Celtic Colours, Festival Interceltique de Lorient, Viljandi and Cambridge Folk Festival
