Groam House Museum was privileged to host the inimitable Tim Edey as part of our ongoing concert series to bring award-winning musicians to the Black Isle.
Tim is well-known in the folk world, having played with The Chieftains, Capercaillie, Session A9, Ross Ainslie, Mike McGoldrick, Dougie Maclean, and Natalie MacMaster, to name but a few. Tim entertained the audience with many tunes from his new Celtic Christmas album, along with tunes from the UK, Europe, America, and far distant lands.

His impressive musical skill combined with his contagious laughter and quirky sense of humour kept everyone captivated throughout the evening.
The second part of the Groam House Museum concert programme is to shine the spotlight on new talent, and we were pleased to introduce Kentra, an exciting new Highland duo featuring Kate Macleod on fiddle and Amy Naulls on piano. Kentra played a mix of traditional and contemporary traditional tunes, and they later joined Tim on stage at the end of the evening for a couple of impromptu sets, sending the audience home with tapping toes and beaming smiles.
The concert was held in the spacious Black Isle Leisure Centre theatre in Fortrose. Highlife Highland was pleased to put the theatre back into community use, providing a prime setting for the evening.
The evening included light refreshments and a raffle. Groam House Museum is a small independent museum heavily dependent on volunteers, donations, and fundraising.
Proceeds from the evening will go towards keeping the museum open during the upcoming season.
