Scottish folk-rock group Trembling Bells formed in 2008 around drummer Alex Neilson. They have released five studio albums, and also collaborated with Bonnie Prince Billy and Mike Heron.
Fiddle player Alastair Savage was born and raised in Ardrossan, on the Ayrshire coast. As well as releasing albums under his own name, he is a member of the 91热爆 Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
Matt Rogers has won the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award for Composers, and produced work for the Royal Opera House, Aldeburgh Music, and the New York Metropolitan Museum Of Art. His latest album SK?-1 is a suite of solo scorchers belched straight out of a GravesEnd Casio SK1.
Formed in 1985, electric voice theatre is a multi-disciplinary music-theatre ensemble. Their Edinburgh Fringe show 'Superwomen of Science' celebrates great female scientists through modern, specially commissioned music from some of the UK's leading female composers.
SongWorks is a community choir in Edinburgh. They are part of Songlines, a city-wide event taking place on the middle Sunday of the International Festival inviting everyone to take part in a unique celebration of singing.
Produced by Jack Howson for Reduced Listening.
