About this Event

Gráinne Brady
Gráinne Brady is a musician, songwriter and composer from Co. Cavan, Ireland, known for her work across traditional and contemporary folk music. While widely recognised as a fiddle player, songwriting has become an increasingly important part of her creative work in recent years.

Her project The Highest Blossom brings together original songs and co-writes with Boo Hewerdine and Findlay Napier, placing strong emphasis on lyric, melody and storytelling. Presented solo for this performance, the songs are delivered with clarity and intimacy, allowing space for the words and melodies to speak.

"Gráinne is one of the most naturally musical people I know. And when she sings a song she transports us." — Boo Hewerdine

Alasdair Paul
Alasdair Paul is a Scottish folk musician best known for his work with Pons Aelius, the Heather Ferrier Trio, and in his duo with Amy Leach. His solo performances present traditional songs and tunes alongside his own compositions, drawing on a wide range of influences from traditional singers to contemporary instrumentalists and improvisers.
