Dialogues: Su-a Lee, Duncan Chisholm, Hamish Napier & Donald Shaw

From her stunning album Dialogues, in which she invited some of her best musical friends to participate in a series of stunning duets, Su-a Lee (Grit Orchestra) returns to the festival to perform with three of her stellar collaborators: Duncan Chisholm, one of Scotland's most revered fiddlers, celebrated multi-instrumentalist/composer/producer Donald Shaw, and Hamish Napier - producer, tunesmith and festival regular from his Nae Plans project.

Through her prolific career as lead cellist in groups like the Scottish Chamber Orchestra & Mr McFall’s Chamber Su-a has constantly explored the role of the cello in folk & world traditions. In fact, the cello was the original Scottish folk rhythm section instrument – famous Scots fiddlers of the 18th century, like Neil Gow, Peter Milne and James Scott Skinner were regularly accompanied by a cellist.

Su-a says, "Playing solo is not really my thing. I am energised by working with other people, especially these people. Expect an evening of traditional, and not so traditional tunes”.
