On Friday 19th September we welcome Flamin’ Haggis to the Salmon Bothy for our regular monthly Folk Club meeting
Reuben Henderson (voice, guitar) and Owen O’Connor (whistle, Highland and Uilleann pipes, melodeon) met through SC&T Youth, where they have learnt about groupwork, instrumentation, stagecraft and the Scottish folk repertoire.
They love busking together in Portsoy and Stonehaven and have picked up the confidence to compose their own songs and tunes alongside their favourite trad and modern folk sets.
They have received the following feedback from Dr. Roger B. Williams, M.B.E. Chair of Haddo Arts: ‘The programme of pieces chosen was splendidly varied and everyone was thoroughly engaged. The variety of instruments, together with the voice and guitar, was absolutely terrific, and I so much admired the way that the boys presented their material. The whole performance had a sophistication about it which was just right. I really don’t think it could have gone better.’
