Chris Stout & Catriona McKay

This award-winning fiddle and clarsach duo have taken these most traditional of Scottish instruments and catapulted them into the contemporary world of music making. A 30-year long telepathy sees this remarkable pair weave their way seamlessly between glorious soundscapes and music of breathtaking simplicity.

The intense and rugged coastal scenery and the dramatic seas that surround their respective origins in Fair Isle and Dundee are ever-present in their unique and treasured sound. Virtuosic and cinematic, Chris and Catriona’s music charts a rhythmic and harmonic terrain that is all their own. The result is a dynamic and intrepidly adventurous sound that transcends genre yet remains immovably tethered to place.
