Events

Driven by a dynamic frontline of bagpipes and whistles (Jordan Aikin), flute (Sam Partridge), tenor banjo and mandolin (Tom Kimber), the band are a melodic force to be reckoned with. In the stompbox and octave pedal era, Pons Aelius are proud to feature one of the scene’s leading all-human rhythm sections, comprising Callum Younger (bodhrán kit innovator), Alasdair Paul (guitar/bouzouki) and Bevan Morris (double bass). With these powerful tools at their disposal, they are masters of both subtlety and intensity, exploring the capabilities of these acoustic instruments and producing a formidable sound together. Since winning the Danny Kyle award at Celtic Connections, the band have released two studio albums. Their newest album, Fire Under The Bridge, is available now.

You've seen him with Bof! and Rosewood - here he's singing solo - mainly traditional and contemporary material influenced by tradition, accompanying himself on guitar.
