SUMMARY:Gary Innes & Ewen Henderson
DESCRIPTION:Two of the Highlands’ most respected and well-loved musicians\, Gary Innes and Ewan Henderson\, bring their fiddle and accordian due to Dornoch Cathedral. They will be joined by special guest Rory Matheson on piano\, and supported by local fiddle and guitar duo Ruairidh Mackay and Megan MacKay \nFrom their earliest days playing at dances and weddings throughout the Highlands\, to performing all across the globe with Mànran\, Gary and Ewen have become leading figures in the Scottish traditional music scene. Their duo performances have taken them to corners as far-flung as Kazakhstan and Shanghai\, not to mention once tourin the entire West Coast of the United States in a convertible Mustang… \nIndeed\, it is from these adventures – plus the musical heritage of their Lochaber upbringing – that their music and stories spring. \nGet tickets
