TRIP, formed in
late 2016, are a new and energetic trad band based in Glasgow that draw influence from the
cultures and traditions of Scotland, England, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
All currently in their second year at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, they began playing
together through informal freshers week sessions and instantly clicked through their shared
passion for traditional music with a contemporary and modern twist.
The impressive six piece line-up features:-
Newcastle accordionist - Michael Biggins,
Sligo flautist - Tiernan Courell,
Manx fiddler
- Isla Callister,
Lewis singer - Mairi MacLennan,
with fellow Scots Rory Matheson on
piano and Craig Baxter on bodhran.
Trip produce a powerful, driven and distinctive sound that contrasts from fast jigs and reels to
captivating traditional Gaelic song.
Following the release of their first music video in January 2017, the band has had a successful
year performing across Scotland and the Isle of Man, and had a fantastic debut in Ireland at
Sligo Live festival 2017.
