Auld alliance The Auld Alliance are rekindling the fire of the Scottish-French union as two souls from different corners of the world have come together through music and song. Glasgow-born Graeme McColgan and Australian mademoiselle Amie Brûlée combine their Scottish and French roots with fine vocal harmonies, ukulele and double bass. They perform an entertaining blend of upbeat traditional folk songs and beautiful heartfelt ballads from Scotland, Ireland, France, and Australia.

With a passion for folk music, whisky and wine, the Auld Alliance’s warm sounds will transport you across to Bonnie Scotland and La Belle France with renditions of Caledonia, Loch Lomond, La Vie en Rose and Sur Le Pont d’Avignon.

Donning their kilts and blue stripes and singing up a storm, the Auld Alliance serves up the musical equivalent of a good whisky and a fine cheese.https://www.auldalliance.com.au

Fiona Ross Award-winning, Glasgow-born singer Fiona Ross has secured her reputation as a highly gifted interpreter of Scots song. Here in her adopted home of Australia, Fiona continues to fly the flag for the Scots song tradition. She was mentored by esteemed tradition bearer and piper Andy Hunter, who in turn learned from the great Traveller ballad singer Jeannie Robertson. Whether sharing a “muckle ballad”, a heart-rending love song or a rousing Jacobite chorus, Fiona delights audiences with her deep knowledge and understanding of the old Scots songs and the stories behind them. Her honest, earthy singing style and extensive repertoire showcase the richness of the tradition.https://fionaross.com.au
