Russell Hunter - piano, fiddle
Russell Hunter grew up in the North East
of Scotland. Coming from a musical family, he was surrounded by
traditional music from an early age, and had already made a couple of
television appearances by the age of twelve.
More recently, after a break during which
he studied History and Politics at Edinburgh University, his music has
seen him do a stint as a cocktail pianist at the Nile Hilton in Cairo,
as well as a tour of Brazil with a Scottish Dance Band.
Equally at home on fiddle or piano, his recent
work has included slots with the likes of Charlie McKerron and Donald
Shaw, Capercaille, Phil Cunningham, and recordings with Eilidh
Shaw, cMc and John McCusker, among others.
The likes of this exciting work and his understanding
of the music has made Russell one of the most sought after accompanists
on the Scottish scene. |
