Calum Stewart - Luc McNally - Sophie Stephenson


Join the dynamic trio of Uillean pipes, bouzouki and percussive step dance. 

Award winning Uilleann piper and flautist Calum Stewart, has a powerful and lyrical playing style, which is rooted in the traditional music of his native Northern Scotland, and collaborations within the Scottish and Irish traditions. Joined by Luc McNally (bouzouki), a formidable force in the Scottish traditional music scene, and percussive Scottish step dancer, Sophie Stephenson, whose percussive steps underpin the rhythms of the traditional dance tunes, the result is a vibrant and dynamic trio.

The trio will be playing music from Calum’s most recent albums ‘True North’ (2023) and ‘Tales from the North’ (2017) to bring together traditional melodies and lyrical compositions, inspired by the landscape and heritage of Calum’s native North of Scotland.
