Dowally
The latest addition to Edinburgh’s bustling folk scene, Dowally make unclassifiable, thrillingly energetic music, fusing their love of traditional Scottish music with jazz harmony, Eastern European rhythms and deep Americana raucousness. Dan Abrahams’ driving guitar and Rachel Walker’s swinging fiddle are joined by Phil Alexander (of Moishe’s Bagel fame) on Accordion and Graham Coe on Cello.
Malinky
Since forming out of the Edinburgh session scene of the late ’90s Malinky has, for the past 20 years, been the leading group focusing on traditional Scots song. Malinky has become one of the most distinctive and accomplished bands on the Scottish folk scene.
Folk Band of the Year in 2010’s Scots Trad Music Awards, Malinky’s hallmark song-based repertoire is performed by three superb lead vocalists and arrayed with tastefully inventive instrumentation, uniting seasoned maturity with sparkling freshness. With two folklore and traditional music graduates amongst their ranks, Malinky combine a deep knowledge of tradition with a subtly creative approach, described by Scotland on Sunday as “one of the most imaginative of Scots-language bands”, breathing new life into centuries-old ballads from Scotland’s north-east, alongside original song-writing and tunes.
Breabach
unite the talents of Megan Henderson (Fiddle, Vocals), James Lindsay (Double Bass, Vocals), Calum MacCrimmon (Bagpipes, Whistle, Bouzouki, Vocals), James Duncan Mackenzie (Bagpipes, Flute, Whistle) and Ewan Robertson (Guitar, Vocals, Cajon). Acknowledging and respecting the origins of both the music they play and the roots of the band whilst embracing the future with new ideas, energy and belief is a key attribute of the band and a theme that is strongly conveyed through their latest Album, Frenzy of the Meeting.
Alongside traditional songs, contemporary tunes and original compositions from each band member with the material largely themed on todays frenzied experience of global politics, media and the natural world as well as focusing on the positive fevered hive of innovation, creativity and pioneering music within the Glasgow music scene, to where the band belong.
Winners of ‘Best Folk Band’ and ‘Best Album’ at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards in 2016 as well as nominations for ‘Best Group’ at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and ‘European Album of the Year’ in the Songlines Music Awards.
