Raised in Galloway, Amy Geddes is now at the forefront of contemporary Scottish fiddle playing as a performer, teacher and composer. She has performed in Scotland and Europe with various artists including Tannas, the Scottish Step Dance Company and Savourna Stevenson and all female group Maysha. Her fiddle style has developed over the years through playing with a numerous musicians in an eclectic variety of musical styles including, for example, a performance on a tribute album to Brian Wilson and with a new piece of music for the Edinburgh Mela, working with Chinese and Pakistani musicians. Amy has an assured and unique fiddle style firmly rooted in Scotland yet enhanced by an increasingly broad wealth of musical experience. Amy is now based in Edinburgh and is a full time musician, performer and teacher. Amy can also be heard on the compilation album Heat The Hoose.

Amy brings her new project to the festival which features the considerable talents of Kevin MacKenzie on guitar, Tom Lyne on double bass and Iain Copeland on drums. This promises to be an exciting blend of cracking rythym section playing and dynamic fiddle leading the proceedings.

Not to be missed we think.
