Jamie Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Chris Stout Quartet+Lori Watson 3Saturday 11th NovemberDoors 8pm Support 8.30pmTickets 10 (6.75 concessions & Regulars)Shetlander Chris Stout is widely regarded as the leading fiddle player of his generation both in Scotland and beyond. The influences are clear world, folk, jazz, Shetland to Scandinavia but Chris Stout and his quartet defy categorisation. He is a phenomenal talent and in a class of his own. The quartet also features Catriona McKay on harpand piano, Neil Harland on double bass, and Malcolm Stitt on guitar.There are some who can play like nobodys business and set the heather on fire in the process, and there are those who are possessed to the extent that they achieve standards that are out there beyond the reach of almost anyone else. Stout sets a new benchmark. Maverick magazineFrom the far north to the far south, as Borders fiddler and singer Lori Watson opens tonights show with her acclaimed trio.Her vivacious, cleanly articulated fiddling was complemented by silvery, beautifully poised vocals and a wealth of inventive accompanying colours and rhythms.
