— ABOUT —

From Canada and the US, Jocelyn Pettit & Ellen Gira are a dynamic fiddle & cello duo. First meeting in Scotland, they joined their musical forces, and have since been gracing stages and captivating audiences in both North America and the UK.

Fusing together traditional and contemporary influences, they create powerfully uplifting and soulful music. Their instruments weave a rhythmically driving and textured sound, with nuanced fiddle-cello interplay through delicate and fortissimo arrangements. They bring life and fire into their own original melodies, and high-energy tunes from Scotland, Ireland, North America, and Scandinavia – with Canadian stepdancing.

Performance highlights include: Celtic Connections Festival, Northern Streams Festival, Niel Gow Festival, Edinburgh Castle, Blair Castle, a Royal Visit performance for HRH Prince Charles, and live broadcasts on BBC Radio 3.

Jocelyn & Ellen will be joined by special guest, Ali Hutton, on guitar. An award-winning multi-instrumentalist from Perthshire, Scotland, Ali has performed, and worked alongside, some of the most respected musicians and artists on the Scottish music scene. He has produced numerous acclaimed albums, and is currently a member of Treacherous Orchestra, Old Blind Dogs, Ross Ainslie & Ali Hutton, and From The Ground.
