Aidan O’Rourke is a fiddler, composer, producer and curator. He has pioneered a new sound in Scottish folk music and redefined traditional forms.
Aidan's new music is about storytelling. Taking inspiration from writer James Robertson and wrote a tune every day for a year. The result was last year’s sold-out "365: Vol 1", and its follow up "365: Vol 2", released on August 2019. 
For this gig, Aidan will be presenting the music from his latest album, "365: Vol 2" recorded with Mercury Prize nominee <A HREF="https://www.kitdownes.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kit Downes</A> (ECM). His music is built on the beauty of the miniature. It’s a collaboration between artists steeped in tradition but constantly breaking new ground. Aidan’s playing and writing are renowned for deep lyricism and off-kilter twists, here paired with kaleidoscopic harmonies of Kit Downes on harmonium and piano.
Aidan says:
"Inevitably the melodies are rooted in my own background as a Scottish folk fiddler, but when Kit Downes gets involved he takes the harmonies to the most wondrous places”
