Concert at church

-

The picturesqu­e St Mary’s Episcopal Church at Aberfoyle plays host to traditiona­l musicians Alastair Savage and Friends on Sunday, September 17 at 3pm.

Fiddler player Alastair will be joined by Iain Crawford (double bass), Eddie McGuire (flute) and Ewan Robertson (whistle and piccolo) in an hour-long concert of Scottish music old and new.

It will focus on music from Alastair’s unaccompan­ied fiddle album released last year featuring Niel Gow and Rabbie Burns, James Scott Skinner melodies and tracks especially arranged for fiddle and bass duo and some of Alastair’s own compositio­ns.

There will also be a strong island connection to the music with a piece written by Alastair “Hidden Shores” - inspired by Lewis and Harris. Eddie McGuire will also perform his St Kilda traditiona­l melodies.
