LORI WATSON
Widely regarded as a leading fiddler, singer and interpreter of traditional music, Lori grew up in the Scottish Borders playing music from a young age. A BBC Scotland Young Trad Musician of the Year 2002 and 2003 Finalist, Lori has performed extensively throughout Britain and Europe. Currently writing a PhD at the RSAMD, Lori's music is regularly broadcast on radio, television and the internet throughout Europe and in the USA, while she pushes forward with several exciting recording projects and her touring band Rule of Three.

LORI WATSON and RULE OF THREE
Formed in October 2004, Rule of Three is an exciting band celebrating the best of the Scottish tradition combined with their own contemporary sounds. Singer and fiddler Lori Watson is joined by John Somerville and Innes Watson to form a dynamic musical three-piece of fiddle and voice, piano accordion and guitar. Here is a fresh approach to some of the best music Scotland's heritage has to offer alongside Lori Watson's own wonderful compositions. Danny Award Winners at Celtic Connections 2005, this is a band that gets your feet stomping one minute, plays with heart-rending emotion the next and leaves the audience uplifted. Music of the highest order.
