A trio of trailblazing female fiddle players from three Scottish island groups will bring together their individual styles in a collaborative concert this summer.

Jane Hepburn from the Hebrides, Louise Bichan from Orkney and Maggie Adamson from Shetland will perform together at An Lanntair arts centre in Stornoway as part of a programme of events during the award-winning Hebridean Celtic Festival.

The concert, which will open this year’s HebCelt on 19 July, is the second musical project organised by An Lanntair under the Between Islands banner and will explore the traditional tunes and playing styles of the three sets of islands.

The four nights of performances at the venue will also feature singer songwriter Willie Campbell, piper and singer Calum Alex Macmillan and Glasgow-based Gaelic folk group Na h-Òganaich.

This year’s HebCelt is being held in Stornoway and will be headlined by The Waterboys, Imelda May, Dougie Maclean and Lucy Spraggan.
