Adam Sutherland (fiddle) has devoted his entire life to composing, performing and teaching Scottish fiddle music. ‘The Road to Errogie’ and ‘Trip to the Market’ are two tunes that have become session standards in many countries around the world, whilst more of Adam’s pathogenically catchy melodies are also gaining in popularity. On stage, Adam has become very well known from touring with well loved bands such as Session A9, Treacherous Orchestra, Peatbog Faeries, Croft no Five and Nae Plans.
Jenn Butterworth (guitar) is an excellent collaborator, she works with a range of high profile folk music projects, including Ross Ainslie and Ali Hutton’s SYMBIOSIS, award winning folk powerhouses Kinnaris Quintet, Treacherous Orchestra and Fiddlers’ Bid.
Fin Moore and Sarah Hoy started playing together over 20 years ago when they regularly led sessions in Birnam. They have since performed as a duo all over the world. Fin Moore plays the Highland pipes, Border pipes and Scottish Small Pipes. For five years, he played in the Vale of Atholl Juvenile Band and is now a very successful pipemaker, performer and teacher. Sarah Hoy was born into a musical family in Edinburgh with her dad, Derek Hoy being fiddler with classic Scots band, Jock Tamson’s Bairns. The combination of the pipes and fiddle perfectly compliments each other as they play traditional music that will make you want to get up for a few steps!
Royal Conservatoire of Scotland junior musicians are some of the best young traditional
players in the land.

We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.
