Odia
Odia fuse Celtic, World and Electronica to make a tasty blend of music that will give you a sense of reflection and exploration of your emotions. Exploring body and mind through contemporary Scottish dance, with a visual wonderland.
Born during Lock Down, Odia started as an online adventure by Stuart looking to collaborate with like minded musicians but also pursue new musical flavours from around the globe. What was supposed to be one tune as an experiment to see if this was possible turned into a 4 track debut EP entitled, Home. 3 further single releases and a debut Album – Prize Fighter. This meaning is a representation of your connection to Home, essentially as long as we have music then home can be anywhere and not just one single place.
Tàmh
Trig are a trio of young musicians specialising in traditional and contemporary Scottish and Irish tunes as well as their own compositions inspired by the rural area in which they grew up and the Celtic tradition. Their melodies are performed on wooden flute, whistles, Highland pipes (Angus Wilson), and button accordion (George Glyn-Jones) with accompaniment from bodhrán, djembe (George), cittern, guitar, and mandolin (Forbes Wilson).
Vàgr
