About Iain Fraser ‘Gneiss’ with Josie Duncan

o celebrate the 30th anniversary of Fèis Rois nan Inbheach, the annual Highland festival for adult learners of traditional music, Fèis Rois presents a new suite of music by leading Scottish fiddler Iain Fraser, one of the event’s inaugural tutors. Named for the ancient rocks underlying much of north-west Scotland, it draws inspiration from the places and people that have contributed to the Fèis’s development, while evoking the passing on of tradition. Together with Fraser, the performance features Wendy Weatherby, Signy Jakobsdottir, Wendy Stewart, Graeme Armstrong, Calum Alex Macmillan, James Ross and Gordon Gunn.

Rooted in the Gaelic traditions of her native Lewis, Josie Duncan won the 2017 BBC Young Folk Award in her duo with Pablo Lafuente. Equally at home singing in Scots and English, she has since won increasing renown for her captivating folk-pop songwriting.
