    The crowning glory of the festival from Seonaid and the Clockwork strings. Superb arrangements and orchestration enhanced by the pitch perfect performance from both Seonaid and the instrumentalists.💖💖

    A fantastic night, with some of the best of Scotland’s jazz and classical musicians. Seonaid sang with seemingly effortless style, with wonderful phrasing and superb range, at the same time dazzling us with her gypsy jazz violin improvisations and sensitive and original string settings of Great American Songbook and other gems!

    Ian Aitken. Sorry for delay in posting a comment. I have been indisposed for a while since your concert. I have been an amateur jazz musician for about 50 years and am constantly knocked out by your improvising skill but you reached a new level in your arranging skills. I have done big band arranging in the past and know how long it takes to arrange even a few minutes of music. You managed to write for a 2hour concert with each arrangement sounding completely different. I have never heard a string group play with such a jazz feel through what I assume were some very complex charts. Well done Seonaid. I look forward to your next outing with this ensemble.
