‘Shepheard, Spiers and Watson’ and ‘Vent du Nord’

'Shepheard, Spiers and Watson' and 'Vent du Nord'

Shepheard, Spiers & Watson are 'purveyors of Scottish traditional song' that is whaling songs, farming songs from the east coast of Scotland. With melodeon, fiddle and whistle - and all three sing, gloriously! They just make original and fine folk music from Scotland - and were nominated as Scots Folk Band of the Year in the Scots Trad Music Awards 2006. "This is folk music for grownups!" 'Le Vent du Nord' are from Quebec. Talent and experience on fiddle and hurdy-gurdy come together in a joyous musical family reunion of Quebec and Brittany ... a sound that swings, reels, jigs and sings with centuries of joie de vivre dancing toward a new horizon. "Arrangements simples et harmonies magiques. Une belle brise fraiche et novatrice dans le paysage trad québécois" Trad magazine Tonight Young Performers are Eilidh Robertson and Islay Nicolson who live in Sleat and attend Portree High School
