SOLO: 2 x 2 metres, 1 x 3 amp power socket, 1 car parking space,
BRUACH band: at least 3 x 3 metres, 2 x 12 amp power sockets and 1 or 2 parking space ( depending on how many equipment ( speakers, mixers, etc) required)

Yes, it is possible. As a solo, I bring minimal equipment, and Bruach band has all PA system it it was required.

Parking information is very helpful for loading our equipment.

Yes, we are happy to play music from Spotify before and between our set. We are flexible about the music choices to match with the venue and the audience.

Yes that is fine for fiddle performance and possibly other acrostics with band members. In that case, I (we) have to be close enough to the audience and will play my fiddle (with other acrostics) without mic, that is possible.

I performed in the hootenanny Inverness this year with Bruach band members. Many audience were dancing and all enjoyed the music a lot which made almost no room to stand in the end. Huge complement from the people from all over the world like Australia, Canada, South America, Africa, Japan, etc that made us feel so proud that we provided such a nice time for them.

Glen Gould : I respect his precise and unique piano performance which is Classic but he made it beyond it by his performances. Itzhak Perlman: I Love whatever he plays that deeply into my heart effortlessly. I would like to make such a sound even if it was a few seconds.

I was playing in orchestra from secondary school time next to the concert mistress, as I was a first violin’s part leader. I was also receiving many medals and awards for my piano performances during my childhood. As I had to move country from Japan to UK, and also the childcare needs, I was away from music for a while. When I restarted my music career as a piano / violin teacher, Bruach band contacted me and asked to join them as a fiddler. Now I am enjoying playing the Scottish folk/rock songs with them and started to compose songs for them as well.

I had several experiences for Wedding party BGM as a pianist that was always nice to see happy audiences and I love to make their experience even better by adding my music. With Bruach member, I enjoyed the performance for the birthday party, which we secretly practiced the birthday lady’s favourite song. She started to cry by surprise and happiness when we started to play that was so touching.

Sure I perform music for children and can bring some instruments for young audiences to join in like tambourine, triangle, bells, etc, and some small violins if someone would like to learn to play.

As a Bruach band normally arrive 2 hours before the performance for setting up and sound check. Maximum performance 3 hours and normally 2x 1 hour sets with 15 min break. If we are allowed to have some break, we can perform long hours if it was best for the clients.
Solo / accompaniment : flexible and all depends on the needs.

Yes I am/ we are happy to play outside but would like to have a shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.

I’m happy to hear the request and will play those. There are lot of music I can play by piano and violin. Bruach band is happy to prepare songs of the client’s choice if it was a few weeks before the gig at least as we need some time for practice.

My violin style is fusion of classic and traditional fiddles that is very unique and fun many clients said. Piano performance is also very popular as I can play so many different variety of music endlessly during the event.
