Bellevue Rendezvous was formed in 2006, as a result of a mutual love of beautiful, quirky and varied tunes from all over the world. They are an acoustic trio featuring an unusual combination of instruments - including the nyckelharpa which is very rarely seen in the UK. The line up is Gavin Marwick (fiddle), Ruth Morris, (nyckelharpa) and Cameron Robson (bouzouki). In their current repertoire they have many original tunes, as well as music from Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, Serbia, France, Brittany, Macedonia, Poland, Canada, Finland and Sweden.
GAVIN MARWICK is a fiddle player and composer from Edinburgh. As a performer he has played at hundreds of festivals, concerts and dances across the UK, Europe, North America, Asia and Africa. Bands he plays/ has played/ recorded with include Iron Horse, Cantrip, Burach.

CAMERON ROBSON is from Denholm in the Borders and comes from a very artistic as well as musical family. His father is the renowned Borders fiddler Wattie Robson. He began playing music at the age of five on the piano and gradually worked himself up through the harmonica, tin whistle and trumpet before coming upon the guitar and then the bouzouki, and also the banjo. Cameron has toured as a guitarist in several rock bands and much of his style and drive were learned from playing around in R&B, and Jazz sessions. He has also recently played with Scottish power-folk group Deaf Shepherd and is a member of Cantrip as well as Bellevue Rendezvous.
