Lucy MacRae
Lucy comes from a musical family and was encouraged in a love of music from an early age. Growing up in Fife she learned pipes, piano and viola before settling seriously on the fiddle in her teens. Whilst a student at Glasgow University, she spent a year in the Outer Hebrides on the traditional music and Gaelic course at Lews Castle College in Benbecula, where she learned from Anna Wendy Stevenson. Lucy has also obtained an MA in traditional music performance from the Irish World Academy of Music. She has a wide repertoire of Scottish and Irish music and now lives in Edinburgh where she teaches and performs regularly. She plays in the group Lurach who won a ‘Danny’ award at Celtic Connections 2010.
