Catriona MacDonald - Bold

(February 2000) Andy's Saltire * Shetland Reels * Michael's Mazurka * The Shetland Fiddle Diva * Eilidh's Trip In Germany * The Tuddal Troll * Freddie's Tune * Return To Stewartry * The Lost Ponytail * Da Silver Bow

Catriona's playing can range from laid-back rootsy dance vibes, to driving traditional reels, from poignant slow airs to jazz-influenced numbers.

This pupil of the late Shetland fiddle master Dr Tom Anderson scooped the Young Fiddler of The Year Award, and then went on to win BBC Radio 2's Young Traditional Musician Award in 1991.

Catriona studied at London's Royal College of Music, has been involved with Shetland's Young Heritage, Blazin' Fiddles, and appears at festivals and on records with many different artistes.

"Enough raw energy to replace Dounreay!"
