About the Duo

Nicky and Syd are both from Perth, Scotland and have collaborated musically for several years, forming PlaidSong. They combine historical research interests with traditional, original singing/song writing. Nicky and Syd draw on an age-old tradition of finding and learning songs from the many cultural sources of Scotland, adapting and reworking old tunes and new words.

Syd started playing guitar with friends aged 14 and progressed through various bands, duos and solo performances, often featuring his own compositions, until teaming up with Nicky as PlaidSong. Nicky has sung since the age of 9 when she entered Scots song competitions at the local competitive festival winning awards in various classes and the Silver Medal for Scots Song. She has sung with various groups and operatic societies as well as singing solo.
