We are a 4-piece Scottish Dance Band comprising; Karen Steven (Fiddle/Co-lead), Alastair MacDonald (Accordion/Co-lead), Ian Clark (Guitar accompanist) & John Mitchell (Piano accompanist). We have been performing concerts and for dancing for around 2 years, mainly in Ottawa, with Karen & Alastair also playing for Scottish Country Dancing in Sherbrooke, QC and in Alberta - Calgary, Edmonton and Lethbridge. There's a vibrant Scottish Country Dance scene all over the world.
Three of our four band members are Scottish, now living permanently in Ontario. We used social media and google searches to find organisations interested in promoting Scottish culture, heritage and history. We are interested to maintain links with Scottish organisations and to share our lovely of Scottish music in Canada. Karen has a degree in Gaelic Studies and is a qualified highland dance teacher. Karen & Alastair have a wealth of experience in playing for listening and Scottish dance.
