Event information

Featuring Vocalist Eilidh Grant, Fiona Cuthill on Fiddle and Stevie Lawrence on Acoustic Guitar and Bouzouki, The Eilidh Grant Trio bring a wide range of musical influences together to create their unique sound.

With a love for traditional and contemporary folk alike, underpinned by a passion for the works of Robert Burns, Eilidh’s voice beautifully renders both classic folk songs and original material and she has made a considerable impression with her performances throughout Scotland and abroad.
Fiona Cuthill was classically trained in violin by Bill Baxter, who played in the renowned Halley Orchestra. After leaving school, she studied more traditional styles of playing and spent the next 10 years playing in ceilidh bands and sessions all over the country. She is in demand as a session musician and arranger and has appeared on many CDs. A Tutor at Glasgow Fiddle Workshop, she is also a prolific composer and one of her tunes has been recorded by renowned Quebecois band Le Vent du Nord.

The third member of the trio Stevie Lawrence joined the ranks of the group Iron Horse and recorded 3 albums with them(including the soundtrack to BBC networked series, “The GameKeeper”), as well as touring worldwide. After leaving Iron Horse, Stevie carved a career as session musician, arranger and producer and has worked with a diverse range of artists. He was also a member “The Red Hot Chilli Pipers” from 2007 – 2014 again touring worldwide.
