Swift

21-year-old Shetland fiddler studying in Cambridge. Play drums and percussion professionally as often as I can spare the time to travel and record/perform, set to do it full-time once I graduate. Normally have to play Irish tunes down here, since some sessions will tolerate nothing but...

Most wish I could play or sound like: Johnny Cunningham.

Enjoy listening to:

Fiddle stuff: Chris Stout Quintet, Alasdair Fraser/Natalie Haas duo, Zoe Conway, Máiréad Nesbitt, Catriona Macdonald, Jenna Reid, Seán McGuire, Aly Bain, Johnny Cunningham.

Flute/Whistle stuff: Flook, Mike McGoldrick, Matt Molloy.

Plus Lúnasa, Väsen, Zar, Capercaillie, Phil Cunningham and Julie Fowlis.

Have some ammo, on me...
