Vicki's musical tradition comes from both Scotland and Sweden. Following in her Scottish father's footsteps Vicki is a second generation piper, and from her Swedish mother she plays the nyckelharpa and translates Swedish ballads and is reading Harry Potter in Swedish. .... Having begun the music ladder at the age of five, Vicki went on to study the double bass at the Royal College of Music, becoming the principal double bass and winning the solo double bass competition. Alongside of this Vicki has performed solo concertos' with many different orchestra's. .... Vicki has studied under all the best pipers including Hamish Moore, Davie Taylor and Gary West, taking the most radical and inovative techniques from each. .... ..About Jonny (Guitar, accordion, vocal)....
