Emotional music of stark beauty and driving energy
It's hard to believe there's only two people on stage as Chris Stout & Catriona McKay weave their way between glorious soundscapes and music of breathtaking simplicity.
Catriona and Chris have taken these most traditional of instruments, the harp and the fiddle, and catapulted them into the contemporary world of music making.
This Scottish Duo powerhouse will take your breath away with their incredible and unique brand of Celtic inspired music. This pair of outstanding musicians have performed the world over as a duo and with orchestras such as the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra and the Russian Philharmonic.
