My name is Fergus McCreadie and I’m a pianist living in Glasgow. I lead my own trio, with whom we’ve made 5 albums, and also play with many other bands including Corto alto and Matt Carmichael.

I love improvisation in music and so am always excited to incorporate it into various different places - I also just love music in general and am always so happy to be playing with great players, like at this festival. This will be my 7th or 8th time playing at the festival (I’ve lost count) - I first went as a teenager to see a bunch of the gigs and then played the first time when I was 18 (10 years ago!!!!) so the island is always full of special memories for me and I love returning for the festival. I’ve had some of my favourite experiences here and look forward to creating new memories this time around!
