Elephant Sessions

Hailing from the Highlands of Scotland, Elephant Sessions formed in 2012. Band members Euan Smillie (fiddle), Alasdair Taylor (mandolin), Calum MacQuarrie (bass) and Greg Barry (drums, samples) create a  progressive blend of intricate tunes, engulfing guitars, with a bass and drum heavy backline. Their music combines the very best of trad, funk and electronica resulting in a new and exciting sound

Their debut album The Elusive Highland Beauty (2014) earned critical acclaim and the Best Up and Coming Act award at the BBC Alba Trad Music Awards. Already renowned for breath-taking live shows, Elephant Sessions have performed at prestigious venues and festivals across the UK, Europe and Australia, including Glastonbury, Byron Bay Bluesfest and multiple headline sell-outs at Celtic Connections.
