The Cumnock Tryst Music Club - Hamish Macleod and Robbie Greig to replace Knox and Ion Duo

Unfortunately, Knox and Ion Duo have had to withdraw from this Saturday’s Music Club concert due to illness. However, we are delighted that Robbie Grieg and Hamish Macleod have agreed perform for us at short notice. Veterans of Scotland’s vibrant music scene, guitarist Hamish Macleod and fiddler Robbie Greig draw on their Gaelic roots to generate toe tapping tunes that are sure to have any audience on their feet. We can’t wait.

Throughout the course of their career, guitarist Hamish Macleod and fiddler Robbie Greig have drawn on their Gaelic roots to help them craft music which is shaped as much by tradition as it is by Scotland’s modern musical landscape.

Having learned their trade in Glasgow’s sessions and on the stages of countless music festivals, the duo know exactly how to please a crowd.

When not performing as a duo, they form part of MG Alba Trad Award ‘Up and Coming Artist’ nominees, Inyal, with whom they have appeared on BBC Alba and RTÉ, as well as on the main stages of festivals around the country, including Celtic Connections and the Hebridean Celtic Festival.

They also perform with Tannara, The Paul McKenna Band, Bell Rock Ceilidh Band and Suas. Together, their friendly and engaging performances put audiences at the heart of the show, as well as showcasing fiddle styles and songs from disparate corners of the world. Driving tunes sit alongside songs which are a sure-fire hit, while entertaining stories are offset with a wealth of information about Gaelic musical traditions.

Hamish and Robbie joined Live Music Now in January 2018.
