What's On

Pictism are basically a collective of Edinburgh musicians playing Scottish and Irish songs and tunes. The line up varies in size according to the venue and material can often be contemporary on occasion. They have been playing now since early 2006 have already established regular work at a few public houses throughout the glorious regions of this fair island.

Think ‘duo’ but with even more spice! The addition of the fiddle and mandolin along with vocal harmonies ignite our set with a folk rock spark and put a unique and riveting twist on our songs. Les joined us in early 2015 and although he is busy with his other music projects, often performs with us at our regular weekend gigs. He has more years of playing experience than he would probably care to mention (!) and is a highly accomplished musician. The folk instruments allow us to build in more variety to our set and most notably give us the opportunity to play a live ceilidh. The fiddle tunes that we perform never fail to get even the most reluctant dancers on their feet and before they know it, they’re having almost as much fun as we are! Why don’t you come along to one of our trio shows and see for yourself?
