Angus Lyon and Ruaridh Campbell
Angus Lyon and Ruaridh Campbell are a stunning young Scottish instrumental duo as their brilliantly innovative 18 Months Later album confirms. The Scottish folk element is well-represented but shat sets them apart is their subtle updating of the style, weaving in a little tango here, and a bit of jazz there. Music with genuine heart and soul.
