Duncan Chisholm
Taught by the great Donald Riddell, Duncan Chisholm has performed his music with Wolfstone and others in the concert halls and arena's of Europe and America to critical raptures. Few can match Duncan's expressive feel for a Highland air. That he can put a match to the heather in Wolfstone does not deny the historic, traditional lineage of his playing. Duncan's third solo recording, Farrar, which was awarded the Scots Trad Music Awards - Album of the Year 2008, and his most recent album Canaich, comprise parts 1 and 2 of a trilogy of albums called The Strathglass Trilogy. This body of work is inspired by the Highland landscapes populated by his ancestors. Duncan is best known for the soft-spoken lyricism of his playing. However, he has also penned many songs with Wolfstone and tunes one of which "Heart and Soul" recorded by Wolfstone, appears on the soundtrack of the Oscar winning film; Good Will Hunting. In early 2007 Duncan was asked by the remarkable Gaelic singer Julie Fowlis to perform a few concerts with her and her band. He continues to work with Julie Fowlis as well as of course Wolfstone, while writing and performing his solo material.
