Bruce MacGregor, Sandy Brechin & Brian Ó hEadhra blend some of the finest musicianship and singing to come out of Scotland in recent years. Individually they perform with their own highly acclaimed acts; Bruce in Blazing Fiddles, Sandy in Burach and Brian in Anam. These three seasoned artistes have drawn on a wealth of tunes and songs from the Gaelic and Scots traditions, as well as each being acclaimed composers in their own right. Not only are Bruce, Sandy and Brian excellent musicians, but they are also loved by audiences for their witty and entertaining live performance.

Bruce MacGregor (fiddle) is probably best known as founder and driving force behind the multi award winning Blazin’ Fiddles. He also toured and recorded with the first incarnation of Gaelic supergroup Cliar. Taught by the great Donald Riddell, Bruce’s style encapsulates the finest points of Highland fiddle music – bold and rugged at times, lyrical and beautiful at others.

Sandy Brechin (accordion) is one of the most popular accordionists in the country and is best known for his bands: Burach, The Sandy Brechin Band and his electric cèilidh band The Sensational Jimi Shandrix Experience, all of whom have new albums out on his own label, Brechin All Records. Sandy has also released a host of albums on the prestigious Greentrax label with Burach, The SB Band and the Gaelic folk group, Seelyhoo and with various other artists, such as ex-Runrig lead singer, Donnie Munro.

"Whose accordion bellows boldly blow where no box has blown before."

Archie Fisher
