Scotland on Tour, the initiative to support the recovery of the live music industry, will return to Aboyne when the Fergus McCreadie Trio play Deeside Community Theatre
An acclaimed jazz outfit, the Fergus McCreadie Trio are recognised for their dynamic and beautifully crafted music and vibrant live performances.
The trio have been performing together since 2016, with award-winning pianist Fergus McCreadie joined by David Bowden on double bass, and Stephen Henderson on drums.
The group’s music draws inspiration from the Scottish landscape and musical traditions while incorporating the classic American and European jazz sounds.
The concert will be held in Aboyne on Friday, September 2.
Fergus McCreadie said: "We’re delighted to be performing at Deeside Community Theatre thanks to Scotland on Tour.
"It’s a great opportunity to play some venues we might not otherwise get to visit and we can’t wait to make some memories with the people of Aboyne.”
Eilidh Scobbie for Aboyne Arts said: “We are so excited by the prospect of hearing the trio play live in Aboyne, they are all fabulous musicians, it will be an inspiring evening.”
Scotland on Tour will take place over a period of 12 months between April 2022 and 2023.
It will support the creation of hundreds of concerts and performances at much-loved arts centres, town halls and community venues across Scotland.
More than 120 artists are set to perform at more than 100 venues across the country as part of the initiative.
The project, which has been created and managed by Active Events, was made possible by £750,000 of Scottish Government backing and will focus on increasing the number of opportunities to showcase and enjoy live music, while bringing exciting acts to the doorstep of city, towns, villages and rural communities.
The year-long Scotland on Tour bill includes both emerging and established artists with genre-spanning acts appearing across the breadth and width of the country, with rock, pop, jazz, classical, folk, trad and acoustic genres all being showcased.
