Amy Leach and Alasdair Paul
Newcastle
Amy Leach and Alasdair Paul have been singing songs together for years. With roots in Edinburgh, Wester Ross and Newcastle they share a love of traditional songs and the stories behind them. Alasdair is a Highland guitarist now based in Newcastle, in demand for his thoughtful and driving style. He can be found playing across the country with Pons Aelius, the Heather Ferrier Trio and Jordan Aikin’s Quercus . Amy is an Edinburgh based singer, with a passion for the joy of singing: in this partnership, through her choir leading or any other chance she can find to sing. The Scots sangs and ballads they sing share glimpses into the darkest and lightest moments of life. The duo’s gigs are a journey through both sadness and joy, through old songs that remain relevant today and songs from more recent times that carry the echoes of tradition. Passing these songs on is what Amy and Alasdair are all about.
