Sunday 25th May 2025 4-6pm

Janet Lees and Rab Woods present a new duo set including original compositions, modern trad and some well-loved traditional songs and tunes, with influences reaching from home into the North Atlantic and Nordic regions.

Fiddle player Janet Lees is a founder member of Corran Raa and has performed at many of Scotland’s best loved festivals. She is known for her energetic and lyrical playing style with a big tone.

Equally at home on the accompaniment, lead or vocals, Rab Woods is a highly skilled multi-instrumentalist renowned locally for producing great music with the Hollow Mountain String Band, Kings Road and the Woods Family “Tonic”.

Rab is also a very talented composer and has been busy this winter writing new music to suit the dynamic of the Argyll based duo, featuring vocals, fiddle, mandolin, guitar and cittern. Although not all will be played at once!
