Assynt Big Band
Award winning instrumental folk trio ‘Assynt’ are Graham Mackenzie (fiddle) and
David Shedden (pipes/whistles) and Pablo Lafuente (guitar).
Former ‘Up and Coming Artist of the Year’ at the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards, Assynt’s music is inspired by the rich piping, fiddle and Gaelic traditions of the Highlands of Scotland. Their self penned melodies are “refreshingly contemporary” (Folk Radio UK) while remaining true to the music traditions they are rooted in.
Renowned for their tight-knit fiddle and pipe playing blended with intricate guitar lines and grooves, Assynt’s powerful tune writing and intuitive musicality shines through their third studio album due to be released next Spring. In this unique gig, Assynt will be showcasing their new music alongside three of Scotland’s finest musicians who join them on this album: producer and pianist Rory Matheson, bassist James Lindsay and drummer Scott Mackay.
