On Sunday’s Festival Fling Extra, Liz introduces Siobhan Miller & Jeana Leslie recorded at the 2011 Glenfarg Folk Fest in Fife.

Jeana Leslie and Siobhan Miller are two very talented, shining new stars on the Scottish Music scene.  Since winning the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award 2008 it has been a whirlwind rise for the young Scots duo who combine instrumental versatility with sublime harmonies and heart-rending performances of traditional songs.

Festival Fling Extra, Sunday 13 May 2.00-3.00pm.

Robin is a musician, composer and plays these instruments – hurdygurdy, fujara, pipes, whistles, drums and keyboard who plays a mixture of paganfolk and medieval music with a modern twist and has a new album called Harlequin.

Also joining Ciaran tonight will be regular listener My Sjöholm (pictured left) who has travelled over from Finland just to appear on the programme.

Contact the programme via email at: studio@celticmusicradio.net or use the Ciaran Dorris Facebook page or via text on 07588 15 1530.

Ciaran Dorris Sunday Session, 13 May 5.00-7.00pm and at Catch Up anytime.

John’s Week with John Collings, Wednesday 16 May 6.00-7.00pm.

Listen to Ian gab with Ross from 12 noon and 12 midnight Saturday 12th May and Monday 14th May from 6pm.

It is difficult to identify where, precisely, Ian assimilated his stylistic knowledge of the Scottish folk tradition: perhaps from his dad, Pipe Major John Bruce of the London Scottish Regiment; from his older brother with whom he formed the Fraser & Ian Bruce Duo early in his career; perhaps merely from performing and mixing with traditional singers right across every major folk festival, folk club and venue in Scotland, England and Wales over several decades now.

Whatever the source, it cannot be denied that Ian Bruce has emerged one of the great singer / songwriters of the  Scottish Folk Movement. He was the obvious choice, alongside Tony Cuffe, Rod Paterson and Billy Ross, to give new impetus to the 12 volume Linn series “THE COMPLETE SONGS OF ROBERT BURNS” with his now classic renderings of Ye Jacobites By Name, The Soldier’s Return, Lassie Wi The Lintwhite Locks, etc.. Linn Recordings recognised this outstanding achievement with a solo CD of his own – “ALLOWAY TALES” – directly based upon his contributions to the project.

And that is not the end of it. Recent years have seen his appearance in numerous Concerts of The Jolly Beggars and The Merry Muses (Burns And A‟ That Festival, Ayr); performances of the Burns songs at the Mitchell Theatre, Glasgow, The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen (Rootin Aboot Festival), Dundee Rep Theatre, to name a few, alongside myself, Marc Duff, Ian Lowthian, Tony McManus and other stalwarts of the Scottish folk scene. He has made quite a reputation for himself undertaking primary school workshops, on Burns, Ramsay and modern song-writing, throughout East Ayrshire, Dumfries & Galloway and South Lanarkshire.

Through it all he has continued to develop as a song-writer, more than realising the promise of his splendid early compositions – Child On The Green, Too Far From She, Gone For The Day, Hungover Morning and more. His recent songs include haunting and compassionate compositions like Sweet Fallen Angels and Brown Eyed Baby.

Auch Victor Besch wuchs mit keltischer Musik auf, und widmete vor und nach seinem Psychologiestudium dem Dudelsack, der Concertina und anderen traditionellen Instrumenten viel Zeit. Als es ihn beruflich nach Bremen verschlug, gründete er dort die Dudelsackkapelle „Crest Of Gordon‟ und spielt schon seit vielen Jahren in der hiesigen Folk-Band „Big Matten‟, die gerade ihre neue CD „Back to Front‟ eingespielt haben.

Listen to Ian gab with Ross from 12 noon and 12 midnight Saturday 12th May and Monday 14th May from 6pm
