Paul Anderson (Scotland)
Already something of a
legend and revered virtuoso in the time honoured tradition of
Scottish fiddle music, Paul Anderson began his
training at school on a fiddle found under his grandparents’
spare bed. Anderson’s experience includes leadership of the
acclaimed Banchory Strathspey and
Reel Society and playing fiddle with Shetland folk rock
band, Rock, Salt and
Nails; however his main interest is performance and
composition of traditional Scottish fiddle music.
Having won most of the fiddle championships in Scotland, his crowning glory was winning the Glenfiddich Scottish Fiddle Championship at Blair Castle in 1993. Anderson has toured extensively and has recorded seven solo albums. He is currently a research fellow in the creative and performing arts at the Elphinstone Institute.
