About this concert
Duncan Chisholm is one of Scotland’s most recognised and accomplished fiddle players and composers.
Duncan’s music contains the rarest of chemistries, a glorious combination of invention, tenderness and passion. A four time winner of the Scots Traditional Music Award of ‘Album of the Year’ and long revered as one of Scotland’s all time great fiddle players, Duncan creates music that requires no introductions or programme notes to carry you on its journey, sumptuously layered and awash with dazzling colours, textures and rhythms.
The sound may be traditional but this is 21st Century traditional music which is sophisticated, exhilarating and meltingly beautiful, back to Egerton for a second visit, by popular demand.
At times wistful, at others foot stomping, Duncan and his band (Ross Ainslie, whistles, and Innes Watson, guitar) will give an evening not to be missed.
