Born into a musical Perthshire family, Aileen Carr has been performing since the early 1970s in the UK and abroad; solo and with the bands Lang Johnny More and Ceolbeg, the popular unaccompanied group Palaver and, more recently, with Barbara Dymock and Janice Reavell in the a cappella trio Choras. She is a former chair of the Traditional Music and Song Association of Scotland and was inducted into the Traditional Music Hall of Fame in 2023.

Lanarkshire-born Elspeth Cowie’s singing story began with winning a school Burns prize. In the early 1970s she sang rock in Glasgow but soon returned to the tradition in Aberdeen, learning much from Lizzie Higgins. In Edinburgh, she joined the band Seannachie then formed Chantan with Christine Kydd and Corrina Hewat. Elspeth was National Organiser of the TMSA for five years, and has two solo, three band and several compilation albums to her credit.

Barbara Dymock learned songs as a child from her grandparents. She made her first foray into performing aged 19 with the newly-formed band Ceolbeg and a cappella trio Fair Game. After a long break to raise a family and pursue a medical career, she returned to sing with Rathlin, Fon a Bhord, Sinsheen, and The Barbara Dymock Band. She is currently in a duo with Chris Marra, and the trio Choras with Janice Reavell & Aileen Carr. She has 2 solo albums.

Amy Lord grew in a musical Dunblane family then studied Scots song at the-then Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama under the inspirational tutelage of some of Scotland’s best. For nearly 20 years, she has led singing groups like The Liltin Lassies, conducted workshops, taught Scots song and language in schools and performed at festivals and folk clubs.


Of Folk Revival vintage, Chris Miles has sung since childhood. A floor spot at Kirkcaldy FC in 1985 brought her to attention and she rapidly became a well-regarded trad singer, winning many silver cups in the 1980s. In 1990, she began a 20-year partnership with Gordeanna McCulloch, and in 1991, they formed Palaver with Aileen Carr and Maureen Jelks. Chris still performs, including a five-week 2022 US tour, with her guitarist partner Gearaidh Matthews.

This event is supported by the Traditional Music Forum of Scotland and the North Atlantic Song Convention.
