Whether a recital hall, listening room, house concert, or your local brewery, these two bring a world class listening experience with music and stories to connect audiences with the greater world of music surrounding them.

Louise Bichan Band

“In May 1950, aged 25 years, Margaret Tait set out alone, on a journey that took her from Orkney across the North Atlantic, then right across Canada. Margaret Tait was my grandmother. In 2013, also aged 25, I set out on my own journey: to retrace her steps and try to fill in the gaps in her story – gaps created by the tantalising disappearance of one crucial volume of her diaries.” - Louise Bichan
