CELTIC CONNECTIONS ON CAMPUS

Recorded live at Celtic connections on Campus

Ross Hull and Cameron Grant from University of Highlands and Islands (UHI)
Ross and Cameron first met at a young age as members of the North East Folk Collective. From there they both progressed from their schools in Stonehaven and Inverurie to the National Centre Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music where they spent their last year of high school completely immersed in folk/traditional music. However it wasn’t until Ross and Cameron began their courses on the Isle of Benbecula they naturally seemed to form a duo and take straight to playing their music across Scotland. They recorded their debut E.P ‘Eshaness’ two years ago and recently they have had the opportunity to also play at festivals overseas. www.facebook.com/rossandcameron

Maisie May from Newcastle University
Maisie is 19 years old and studying folk and traditional music at Newcastle University. She have been performing since she was a child and has played at various folk festivals in England as well as private events and gigs in local areas. Her repertoire is varied as she has had lots of influences throughout her studies in music (including jazz, Indian classical music, world music and folk). She tends to perform material that comes under the styles of folk, indie/pop, jazz and sometimes a fusion of the above. She sings and has studied classical guitar since she was 12, resulting in intricately picked accompaniment. She aspires to perform, teach, collaborate.
