Andrew Huggan

Andrew Huggan's music can be described as 'modern traditional folk music'. The musician, from the Ochil Hills, keeps busy penning songs and performing on Radio, Television and gigging at festivals throughout Britain and last year performed in Denmark.

He traces his earliest musical influences back to The Singing Kettle but first tried to play the keyboard after discovering the music of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Mike Oldfield. It was Oldfield's album Voyager that led to Andrew developing an interest in Scottish folk and Celtic bands, such as Wolfstone and Runrig.
