My Debut Album Strands was released on 2nd February 2024. The album tells a story of my Shetland roots and how this has grown to be intertwined with threads of contemporary influence and ideas. As well as exploring this conversation between traditional and contemporary, the album also explores the fusion of traditional and classical influence.
Joining me on the album is Miguel Girão (Guitar), Rhona MacDonald (Double Bass) and Lea Søndergaard Larsen (Bodhran).
“Strands, is nine spellbinding tracks of utter joy… What magnificent artistry!”
