The Eilidh Grant Trio are known for their dynamic fusion of traditional and contemporary Scottish music. With an irresistible blend of heartfelt vocals, instrumental talent, and inventive arrangements, they create a unique and memorable sound that resonates with audiences around the world.

These Singers' Nights are funny old things. They are unpredictable as we don't know who, or how many, will come along and play, or just listen for that matter. We are seldom disappointed by the high quality of the performers, number and variety. Sometimes we can be a bit short on listeners - odd 'cos what's not to like for £2 (to cover the hall cost). Not bookable in advance. If you don't like a performer then another one will be along in ten minutes!! Surely nobody has a better plan for 27th August so why not come along. We use the small hall at the Community Hall (obviously it should be Halls). The entrance is at the side. BYOB. Disabled access. Good fun.

Equally at home as accompanist or melody player, Anna Massie is one of the trad world's foremost guitarists. As well as being a skilled multi-instrumentalist renowned for her work with Blazin’ Fiddles and RANT, she also presents BBC Radio Scotland’s award-winning flagship trad music programme, Travelling Folk.

Four-time nominee for Best Instrumentalist at the Scots Trad Music Awards, 2021 winner of the Trad Music in the Media award for her Black Isle Correspondent work and 2022 Producer of the Year award, Anna is a highly talented musician, presenter and producer.

“…lively, often witty arrangements…compelling at the heart." MOJO

Musical twins and mavericks besides, they pack emotional punches but bring songs to heal the scars.

Real-life troubadours and masters in the art of connection; they interweave soulful vocals, effortless strings and driving rhythms to form a singular musical voice. Their sound is equal parts contemp-folk, alt-country and acoustic-pop, but no words capture their unbelievable musical kinship, or the deeply heartfelt way they relate to their audiences.

“Her voice thick with velvet and mirk…hovering between the comforting warmth of The Breath and the whip-smart forlorness of early Adele…Hamill has a big intriguing voice, it’s Scottishness ever-present.”

The Guardian Album of the Month – Not Just Ship Land

“One of the best of her generation.”
