Robbie Greig
Robbie Greig is an award-winning fiddle player and sought-after freelancer. Winner of the inaugural Niel Gow Scottish Fiddle Award, Robbie is in high demand as a session musician, soloist and teacher. A full-time member of three busy folk bands (The Paul McKenna Band, Tannara and INYAL), all of whom have had a look-in at the MG Alba Trad Awards, Robbie is also kept busy through a schedule of deputizing, having performed most notably with Niteworks, Malinky and Talisk.
Steeped in traditional and Gaelic music as a youngster, Robbie has always maintained a love of fiddle traditions from Scotland, Ireland and further afield. Originally from Edinburgh’s culturally vibrant northside, Robbie moved to Benbecula at the age of 16 to pursue an HNC in Traditional Music Performance with Anna-Wendy Stevenson, Simon Bradley and Iain MacDonald at Lews Castle College UHI. He then ended up completing a first-class honours degree in Applied Music there. Like many of his peers, he has now settled in Glasgow, Scotland’s traditional music hub.
