HARPONIUM (2014)
“a triumph of brilliant musicality, joyous expression, daring harmonic shifts and moving melodicism” Glasgow Herald, Jan 2014
BEGLEY MCKAY STOUT (2014) 'This is music of the moment: bristling with the excitement of newly minted camaraderie and bolting towards the door for the wide open spaces it craves. And yet, there’s a finesse to the collection’. Irish Times 2014
Catriona is delighted to have been awarded Intrumentalist of the Year 2014 at the Scots Trad Music Awards. The awards ceremony was a wonderful celebration of Scottish music, held this year in Inverness. Fiddlers’ Bid openend the show with 2 new sets from their forthcoming album.
