Musical partners in crime and dynamic duo sound sensation. Having gigged, explored and sculpted their musical identities together for 15 years now Catriona McKay (Scottish harp) and Chris Stout (Shetland fiddle) continue to evolve and create a sound and style "operating at a rarefied level of expertise" (The Herald). They recorded their first duo cd "Laebrack" in 2005 and have been part of many other projects together over the years as trustworthy collaborators.

The crafting of their voice as a duo which blends "elemental intensity with graceful eloquence" (The Herald) has drawn them to explore new music and new ideas for this partnership of traditional instruments - "sensual, throaty fiddle lines...harp is deliciously angular and haughty" (Irish Times)

NEW - OUT NOW! A new self-penned duo cd by Catriona McKay & Chris Stout - WHITE NIGHTS
