# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Miguel Girão “one of the most technically gifted and expressive guitarists in Scotland.”
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 17 Feb, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Described as “one of the most technically gifted and expressive guitarists in Scotland.” (Innes White), Miguel’s music is tied in with a deep understanding and curiosity of the Traditional Scottish music landscape. Originally from the Portuguese Midlands and now based in Glasgow, Miguel has developed a broad style which swiftly shifts between accompanist and soloist, embodying edges of classical, jazz, and contemporary music.

With the eagerness to push and dare, the ebb and flow between the styles and techniques that Miguel displays makes him “A new and genuinely unique voice in contemporary Scottish trad. You really haven’t heard this before.” Martin Green (accordionist with folk trio Lau).

Miguel was a finalist in the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2025 competition. He is a founding member of the up-and-coming project the Capstan Quartet welding old and new melodies of the Scottish tradition with contemporary aesthetics. He also plays extensively with pianist Amy Laurenson in both duo and with her quartet. He has also collaborated with North American fiddle and cello duo Jocelyn Petit and Ellen Gira, Edinburgh-based singer songwriter Eve Simpson, and Glasgow based band Tern.
