Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham

We love these guys!  They’ve been gracing WemsFest with their presence annually (HOW LUCKY ARE WE?!) and it always sells out, so get your tickets NOW.

Having toured together since 1986 to packed concert halls all over the world, Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham continue to charm audiences with their stunning music, and on-stage charisma that defies description.  Witty and humorous banter sits alongside tunes that tug the heartstrings, and joyous reels and melodies that have feet tapping along at their ever popular concerts. The pair have recorded many highly acclaimed albums in their thirty years together including two ‘Best Of ’ collections.

Aly & Phil have won numerous awards including the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards – Best Duo Award and have been nominated in the Scottish Traditional Music Awards for ‘Live Act of the Year’.

Aly was a founder member of the ‘Boys of the Lough’ and his passionate fiddle playing has also found its way onto recordings by the likes of Eddi Reader and Richard Thompson. He was responsible for launching ‘The Transatlantic Sessions’ TV and live series, in which both he and Phil continue to tour internationally.

Accordion player Phil has been named as one of Scotland’s 25 Most Influential People and his mastery of the instrument has led to him working with the likes of Mark Knopfler, James Taylor, Rosanne Cash and Midge Ure.  

Together they are simply the best traditional musicians you are ever likely to hear. 

Case in point below.  Listen, fall in love, and then buy your ticket today.
