To say that it has been an utter joy to rehearse and play with our Rncm students is an understatement. Life affirming stuff within difficult times for musicians. These guys give us much hope. Come watch tonight 8pm. rncm.ac.uk/performance/thurs… @RNCMvoice @jyoungpiano @richjmcollins

Was so incredibly chuffed to be asked to write something for Elena and Tom, amazing people and musicians. Check out their project #UriPosteJukebox. Here is a Slow Air I wrote for them.
5 May 2020
We celebrate Day 50 of #UriPosteJukebox with the fifth of our #UriPostePremieres: @ElenaUrioste and I adore @DonaldGrant's folk-infused music, and are so touched by this tune he wrote us, ‘Bha lá eile ann’ (‘There was a different day’). Full video intro: youtu.be/zOvWsIx8Hik

Formed at the RNCM in 1998, the @elias_quartet is now one of the world’s leading quartets, who still make regular visits to coach our students.

I had a guitar smashed on a flight with @AerLingus a few weeks ago. I've tried the various online routes they make you go down to claim for this horrendous damage, but they have ceased to communicate with me. Share if you agree this is unacceptable behaviour for an airline.

20 September @Kingsplace don't miss the #EliasQuartet perform @sfbeamish's Reed Stanzas inspired by @elias_quartet's @DonaldGrant - he doubles as a Scottish fiddle player. Her 3rd quartet evokes windswept landscapes of #Suffolk & #Harris & the call of the lapwing. #VenusUnwrapped

🎶'Playing of wonderful exuberance and fire'🔥 (@guardian) – hear the acclaimed @elias_quartet perform Sally Beamish's Reed Stanzas framed by Beethoven's vivacious Op. 18/1 and the third Razumovsky live on Fri 20 Sep: bit.ly/EliasQuartet-KP #VenusUnwrapped

To all people who love Scotland.
To those who were born here, those who have made their home here and to those who make up our incredible diaspora
Being Scottish is not about where you were born, it is a state of mind
