Award-winning pianist Fergus McCreadie’s music is captivating; a unique blend of jazz and folk inspired by the natural beauty of Scottish landscapes. His debut album earned him a 2022 Mercury Prize shortlist nomination, the 2022 Jazz FM Instrumentalist of the Year Award, and the 2022 Scottish Album of the Year Award - the first jazz artist ever to be awarded the prize. Fergus returns to Islay with his longstanding trio: David Bowden and Stephen Henderson alongside special guest Norman Wilmore to launch this year’s festival at the Caol Ila distillery, set against the iconic backdrop of the Sound of Islay.
