Scott Gardiner
Forfar
Scott Gardiner is one of Scotland’s great traditional singers, though younger than most. Brought up on a farm in Forfar, Angus, he’s been performing at concerts and festivals across the country since his schooldays, and is best known for singing the bothy ballads and songs of the north-east, though that’s not all he sings: he has a wide range of serious and comic material, including songs from elsewhere, some of them more modern. Career highlights include representing Scotland at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in the USA, winning the Bothy Ballad World Championship and three nominations for Scots Singer of the Year at the BBC Alba Scots Trad Music Awards
