The Simon Bradley Trio comprises of three award winning multi instrumentalists Matheu Watson, Anna Wendy Stevenson and Simon Bradley. They play fiddles, viola, mandolin, banjo and guitar in a polished, lush and dynamic sound reminiscent of The Easy Club/Fine Friday/Django/Session A9 - “traditional swing”. In November 2011 they released a fantastic debut live album of completely original material written by Simon over the last 15 years. Simon's compositions have been performed by Capercaillie, Shooglenifty, Kris Drever and many more top acts. The music is infused with his up-bringing within Manchester’s Irish community, his Donegal heritage, his many years in Edinburgh’s musical hotbed, his pioneering Asturian connection playing with the iconic Llan de Cubel and his current residence in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. All three have toured globally with different bands (Fine Friday, Llan de Cubel, Fred Morrison) and are experienced music educators lecturing with the University of the Highlands and Islands where they met and developed this project. |
