TATTIE JAM

Event information

Tattie Jam (Seylan Baxter & Ruaridh Pringle) offer a distinctive brew of songs, from dark ballads and protest songs to off-the wall humour, and tunes ranging from slow airs to driving Strathspeys and kinetic jigs and reels. Much of our material's given a playful or funky contemporary twist, with contrast provided by the odd starker a capella song or unaccompanied tune.

Our material's a diverse but harmonious blend of reinterpreted songs and tunes plundered from the hugely rich Scottish tradition, and songs and tunes written by Ruaridh. Thoughtful arrangements and the fact both musicians harmonise vocals whilst playing elements of lead, rhythm and percussion give Tattie Jam a sound that's quite unmistakable, and consistently surprises new listeners with its size and scope.
