New Voices: Megan Henderson

Fiddler and singer Megan Henderson is one of Scotland’s busiest musicians, both in Breabach and as a first-call contributor to others’ projects. Adding yet more strings to her bow, this new vocal and instrumental suite was inspired by the work of fellow Fort William native Christine Clark, whose dream-like, impressionistic paintings depict – in the artist’s own words - “imagined landscapes and narratives which transport us to unknown lands, conveying moments of solitude, love, hope, beauty and loss.” Henderson premières her musical responses with a line-up including Rura fiddler Jack Smedley, cellist Su-a Lee and hardanger fiddler Olav Luksengård Mjelva, of Nordic Fiddlers Bloc.
