All the way from small-town Texas – and sonically from as far back as the 1930s – the Quebe Sisters’ exquisite three-part harmonies and matching feisty fiddle work, buoyantly backed with guitar and bass, put an enchanting new spin on vintage Western Swing, country, jazz, bluegrass and cowboy tunes.
The Seonaid Aitken Set, Danny Kyle Open Stage winners in 2010, are a spirited young folk/jazz/bluegrass combo fronted by a multi-talented fiddler, singer and pianist out of Fife. Aitken’s other performances credits range from Scottish Opera to Sunshine On Leith, plus live and studio work with Roddy Woomble and Colin MacIntyre.
