The James Graham Trio first performed together at the opening concert of the Hebridean Celtic Festival in 2005. The 2004 BBC Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year winner James Graham is joined by James Ross on piano and Neil Johnstone on cello, both of whom possess formidable reputations as accompanists. Individually, they are all highly acclaimed musicians in their own right. James is a singer who holds a deep respect for the strength of Gaelic song melodies and whose take on Gaelic music and its tradition is not at the expense of any of its key elements. |

Cellist Neil Johnstone is son of the acclaimed piper Duncan Johnstone and has had a remarkable career as a leading classical musician. Although Neil is classically trained, he has never strayed too far from his roots in traditional | ||||
music and ha played and recorded alongside many of the leading figures in the traditional music world. His sophisticated accompaniment of Gaelic song brings a true richness to the song arrangements.
