An Evening with Findlay & Gillian

About the show

Findlay and Gillian return to the AIF for the third successive year. In our first two festivals, Gillian and Findlay’s warmth, charm and musical brilliance transformed Brodick Golf Club into something that felt like a folk club of old. Well, it’s happening again - we’re thrilled to welcome them back for another unforgettable evening of Scottish traditional music.

Findlay, a former Scots Trad Music Musician of the Year nominee, is a gifted singer and songwriter, known for his storytelling flair, wit and charm. Catch two of Scotland’s finest traditional artists in the heart of their own island community. Findlay is one of Scotland’s finest singer-songwriters and a leading artist on the UK music scene. In 2025, he was named Composer of the Year at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards, having previously been nominated for Musician of the Year and Live Act of the Year. Arran-born Gillian is an outstanding traditional fiddler and singer, whose authenticity and natural charm shine through in her performances.
