Highlighting the diverse voices of folk music’s most ubiquitous instrument, this assembly of leading pickers and composers includes multi-award-winning guitarist/composer Will McNicol, who has collaborated with Innes Watson in arranging selections from his past decade’s work for the specially-formed string quartet Innotet, also featuring Seonaid Aitken, Patsy Reid and Alice Allen. 

Following his own highly-praised Guitar Colloquium project, Watson will also showcase his six-string skills, along with what’s sure to be another prodigious, pyrotechnic performance from Tim Edey. Completing the line-up, Lebanese-born, French-based artist Abaji plays a bespoke, double-necked hybrid of guitar, oud and cello, forging a musical bridge between eastern and Western traditions.
