Ryan is quite simply, in our opinion, the most promising young traditional fiddle player in the UK. His interpretations of traditional Scottish tunes are quite stuning.<\/p>\n<p>Our friendship with Ryan has ultimately led to him recording his first album with a triple Grammy award winning producer &#8211; Jesse Lewis.We still can&#8217;t quite get our heads around the fact that Jesse agreed to fly to Scotland to do this project; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.immersivemusicproject.com\/this-year-in-the-grammys\" target=\"_blank\">here are some of his albums<\/a> he was involved in recently.<\/p>\n<p>The album has been recorded in high resolution audio at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and we had a lot of fun helping pull all this together. You can find out more about this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ryanyoung.scot\/recording.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. The album should be available around the first quarter of 2017.<\/p>\n<p>If you are at all interested in traditional music; particularly the fiddle playing of Martin Hayes, Alasdair Fraser and Liz Caroll can I suggest that you check out Ryan&#8217;s playing. He really is in the same league as they are. He is, in my opinion, the best young traditional fiddler of his generation.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more about Ryan at his website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ryanyoung.scot\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">www.ryanyoung.scot<\/a> or follow him on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ryanyoungfiddle\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Edit: Since posting this Ryan has won &#8216;Up and Coming Artist of the Year&#8217; at<a href=\"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/scotstradmusicawards\/top-trad-talent-celebrated-in-dundeewinners-announced-for-mg-alba-scots-trad-music-awards-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\"> MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1598\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1598\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1598\" src=\"http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/JON1045-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional Scottish Fiddler Ryan Young with Martin Hayes\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/JON1045-Edit.jpg 800w, http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/JON1045-Edit-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/JON1045-Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/JON1045-Edit-550x366.jpg 550w, http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/JON1045-Edit-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1598\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traditional Scottish Fiddler Ryan Young with Martin Hayes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1599\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1599\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1599\" src=\"http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Ryan-Young-and-Dennis-Cahilll.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional Scottish Fiddler Ryan Young with Dennis Cahill\" width=\"800\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Ryan-Young-and-Dennis-Cahilll.jpg 800w, http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Ryan-Young-and-Dennis-Cahilll-300x240.jpg 300w, http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Ryan-Young-and-Dennis-Cahilll-768x614.jpg 768w, http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Ryan-Young-and-Dennis-Cahilll-550x440.jpg 550w, http:\/\/lizburton.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Ryan-Young-and-Dennis-Cahilll-375x300.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1599\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traditional Scottish Fiddler Ryan Young with Dennis Cahill<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been sometime since we wrote a blog here.
