Owen Sinclair & Sally Simpson

Scotland

A multi-instrumentalist within the Glasgow trad scene, Owen Sinclair has made his mark as an international performer and teacher. He performs regularly with Ryan Young, Westward the Light, and Ross Ainslie & Ali Hutton Trio. He also teaches privately and performs as part of the Bell Rock Cèilidh Band for weddings and other functions. Originally hailing from Edinburgh, fiddle player Sally Simpson was drawn to folk music at an early age. She performs with party-band HEISK, folky quartet Westward the Light, and innovative piper Malin Lewis. A graduate of the National Centre for Excellence in Traditional Music and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, her time studying at Stockholm’s Kungliga Musikhögskolan sparked an interest in the role of traditional music in theatre, and she later toured with Sting’s musical The Last Ship. Sally teaches private and group lessons on a regular basis, and in her duo with Catriona Hawksworth, works with Live Music Now Scotland to take music into a range of care and education settings. Owen and Sally will be playing as a duo as well as with Westward the Light during Celtic Colours.
