Band MembersPlease see the Peatbogs, Session A9 and Babelfish myspace sites below.
InfluencesHere are some of my heroes/influences. Donald Riddell, Alasdair Fraser, Martin Hayes, Buddy MacMaster, Rodney Miller, Led Zeppellin (in a VERY big way) various choral music composers, Rage against the Machine, Herbie Hancock, Stephane Grappelli, R.H.C.Peppers, Prodigy, Martyn Bennett, Fred Morrison, and all the people I've worked with whom I wont name individually cos there's rather a lot. Actually I really have to mention two very big influences; Andy Thorburn and Iain Copeland - for inspiration, wisdom and knowledge on the topics of harmony, rythm and many other aspects of life, the universe and everything. Some of my favourite composers of contemporary traditional melodies - Fred Morrison, Charlie Mackerron, Phil Cunningham, Ross Ainslie, Allan Macdonald, Brian Finnegan, Brendan Ring, Andy Thorburn, John Somerville, Peter Morrison, Gordon Duncan R.I.P and Martyn Bennet also R.I.P, Kevin O Neill of Rutherglen, Kevin Henderson, Gordon Gunn, and well, just all the amazing new tunes that are constantly emerging. I think we live in very (musically) interesting times!

   About Adam Sutherland
Hello, my name is Adam. I've been playing the fiddle for 20 years. Roughly five years into that I started writing music as well. I started learning from the late Donald Riddell in 1987, and attended the Inverness Strathspey and Reel Soceity on a Monday night, which Donnie led. Shortly after he passed, I started attending a summer school which took place in the Gaelic college 'Sabhal Mor Ostaig' in Sleat, Skye. The tutor and source of huge inspiration and motivation for me and many others was Alasdair Fraser, and our family attended the course religiously for the next few years. I won a scholarship to V.O.M fiddle camp when I was 17 so we made it over there too. I had a few classical violin lessons in my teens, played in the Spectrum Centre Youth Orchestra led by Alex Sieczcarek, also sung in a cathedral choir. The choir weekly schedule: 1 hour on a tuesday, 1 hour on a thursday, two hours on a friday and two services on a sunday for 8 years. I have also spent some time at the R.S.A.M.D. I've been travelling around the world playing being a general vagrant but also had the pleasure of playing the fiddle with many different acts for 7 years or so... Borneo, N.Y.C, Australia, Europe, and a large number of places in Britain, particularly Scotland. Bands (which to varying degrees) I've played with, roughly starting from when I started gigging; The Scottish Stepdance Co, Fire in the Bog, Croft no Five, Dochas, Babelfish, Session A9, Finlay Macdonald Band, Salsa Celtica, The Peatbog Faeries, Cuillinn Music, Frog in Throat, SJP Voyager, Treacherous Orchestra, Avernish, Waste Management Sub-commitee of Babelfish, The Nostalgia Boys, The GrouseBeaters, low-tide revelry, and a bit of 'pub-fiddle' Runrig's newest C.D. I've also had the pleasure of joining Brian Finnegan in one of his solo projects. My two biggest commitments though are the Peatbog Faeries and Session A9. Babelfish rises now and again, most recently (albeit without poet Jock) at the Rock Ness festival. Also look out in the near future for a new act in the brewing featuring the talents of box playing north sider John F Somerville - 'The Nostalgia Boys'. Cheers all !
