Rod Paterson

Vocals, guitar, mandola

Widely recognised as the foremost male traditional singer in Scotland, Rod has already produced a large body of recorded work to support that point of view as well as stage productions, including The Ship and The Big Picnic, and featured on many radio and TV productions, including The Transatlantic Sessions with Emmylou Harris and Phil Cunningham.

He has two solo albums to his credit together with the three Easy Club recordings, the new definitive series of discs of the songs of Robert Burns (of which Rod is a renowned interpreter), Fergusson's Auld Reekie and many other album recording sessions.

He's also a member of another excellent Scottish band, Ceolbeg, and has written a number of songs and adaptations of traditional material.
