Two-times Glenfiddich Fiddle Champion, aged just 15 and 16, Perthshire-born fiddler Patsy Reid released her debut album, 'With Complements', in 2004, and plays with the Danny Award-winning Breabach.

Her New Voices composition, 'Bridging the Gap', combines her love of traditional and classical music. While studying at the Royal Northern College of Music, Reid recalls, 'I would put on my "classical hat" during the week, and at some point during the commute between Manchester and Friday night's gig, that hat would be flung aside to reveal the more rebellious "traditional hat". Featuring fiddle, string ensemble, piano, guitar and bass, Bridging the Gap sets out to transcend such divisions.
