TRIP
Born out of the vibrant Glasgow traditional music scene, unite the kindred Celtic traditions of Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
TRIP’s trademark sound is dynamic, driven and distinctive and celebrates the band’s roots in tradition, whilst showcasing a contemporary, cross-genre flare. Their tight-knit arrangements blend traditional melodies and self-penned tunes and songs to produce an exciting take on folk music.
The stand-out line-up features 6 musicians at the forefront of Glasgow’s traditional music scene, including BBC Young Traditional Musician of the year 2021 and members of FARA, GNOSS, The Canny Band and HEISK. TRIP are Michael Biggins (Accordion), Isla Callister (Fiddle), Tiernan Courell (Flute/Whistle), Alasdair MacKenzie (Guitar/Voice), Rory Matheson (Piano) and Craig Baxter (Bodhran).
At the heart of TRIP’s live performances is an infectious energy and camaraderie that has captivated audiences across Scotland and beyond at festivals such as Celtic Connections, Skye Live, Shetland Folk Festival and Festival Interceltique de Lorient. Recent projects have also seen the band take to the stage with a special ‘big band’ project and collaborate with the likes of Donald Shaw and The Scottish Dance Theatre on Moving Cloud, which recently saw them travel to Colombia, South America.
This event will last approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes, including an interval.
