Ryan Young (SCO)Focussing on traditional Scottish music, Ryan Young brings new life to old, regularly forgotten or often overlooked tunes. He does them his way. His fiddle artistry is characterised by melodic innovation, infectious rhythmic energy, an impressive range of dynamics and the derring-do of Martin Hayes. ‘Young’s technical ability is simply jaw-dropping, the pace frantic, dizzying, triumphant.’ (Gavin McNamara, Tradfolk.co)
