Alistair Ogilvy is a young traditional singer, who is making his mark on the folk scene in Scotland. With a repertoire from Robert Burns to Fairport Convention to Lady Nairn he brings a diverse range of songs to his concerts. He has an inherent and a unwavering love for traditional music and brings both passion and substance to his singing.

Catriona Evans, Alistair's singing partner, is a gem of a singer with a realness and innocence to her voice that captures the audience at every performance.
