Performances by Bruce MacGregor & Ali Duncan; Elizabeth Davidson-Blythe, & Daniel Quayle, Cailean McKerron's,
Dunkeld & District Strathspey and Reel Society
One of the most influential musicians of his generation, Bruce MacGregor has been a massive driving force in the revitalisation of Scottish folk music.
Founding the phenomenally successful Blazin Fiddles in 1998, his driving yet lyrical style of playing alongside his passion for the history and culture of the Highlands, has helped inspire a new generation of musicians and lovers of traditional music across the world. Bruce will be joined by Ali Duncan.
We are delighted to welcome Elizabeth & Daniel back to the Niel Gow Festival after their debut here in 2023 really impressed audiences. Combining the rich traditions of the Isle of Man with the varied sounds of synth pop and
Eurofolk, Elizabeth Davidson-Blythe & Daniel Quayle have forged a sound that is both dramatic and compelling.
Since the release of their debut album, The Coast Road, in 2022, the duo has been invigorating audiences, bringing their distinctive sound to festivals across Europe and picking up new influences along the way.
Whether they’re burning through reels, or setting the scene for a meditative air, audiences are enraptured by their fresh new take on a musical tradition like no other.
Elizabeth has also written a tune, ‘The Birnam Oak’, for the Niel Gow Festival Tunebook, the tune has also featured in some of the festival’s promotion videos.
“Dunkeld Strath & Reel" has been an important part of Dunkeld's lively traditional music scene for the past 90 years, has been closely associated with the Niel Gow Festival and under its music director Pete Clark, is delighted to bring you a programme of great music from the 20th to the 21st centuries, much of it composed locally.

As a past Chairman of Tayside NADFAS/Arts Society, I have enjoyed so many of our lectures in Birnam's wonderful hall and the hospitality which has accompanied it.
