Join us for a mesmerizing evening with Duncan Chisholm and Hamish Napier at Gairloch, as part of their Highland Halls Tour 2025. Duncan Chisholm, one of Scotland's most celebrated fiddlers, and Hamish Napier, a renowned multi-instrumentalist, will bring their extraordinary talents together for an unforgettable performance. Experience the rich tapestry of Scottish folk music, woven with haunting melodies and evocative harmonies, in the intimate setting of Gairloch. Don't miss this chance to witness two of Scotland's finest musicians in concert, as they take you on a musical journey. 

Duncan Chisholm is one of Scotland’s most recognised and accomplished fiddle players and composers; Duncan’s music contains the rarest of chemistries, a glorious combination of invention, tenderness and passion. Born and brought up near Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland, Duncan has spent most of his life developing his unique musical voice.  Fiddle playing at its best, Duncan’s feather-light handling of dynamics and ornamentation, allied with his pure-distilled tone, lend his characteristic spine-tingling magic to his music.

Winner of the 2018 Scots Trad Music Awards ‘Album of the Year’ for his album Sandwood, Duncan creates music which is sumptuously layered and awash with dazzling colours, textures and rhythms.  It is music that requires no introductions or programme notes to carry you on its journey.  The sound may be traditional but this is 21st Century traditional music which is sophisticated, exhilarating and meltingly beautiful.

Duncan’s well-established musical career has taken him throughout the UK, Europe and the USA, both through his solo work and while playing with other musicians and bands.

With such a personal interest in and connection to the Highland landscape that so deeply inspires him, Duncan has worked hard to instil great pride and passion into recording musical masterpieces influenced by Scotland’s wild places.

“My creative world widens with each passing year and the possibilities for self-expression are limitless.  Enjoy the music.”  Duncan Chisholm.

Hamish Napier is a talented multi-instrumentalist and composer from the Scottish Highlands, specifically Grantown On Spey. He is known for his heartfelt compositions that pay tribute to the stories and heritage of his native Highland woodlands. Hamish has released several solo albums, including "The River," "The Railway," "The Woods," and "The Tree of Eternity," showcasing his versatility and deep connection to his roots. His music often features collaborations with other artists, such as Duncan Chisholm.
