Alistair McCulloch is one of the most sought after fiddlers in Scotland today, both as performer and teacher. His versatility and breadth of repertoire have kept him at the forefront of the tradition for over 15 years. Six months in the making, Alistair's long awaited third album 'Four Seasons In One Day' will be released on 4th August 2009. The beautifully textured recording captures Alistair's playing at its best, with renewed freshness combined with supreme musicianship. |

China Tour
Only seven weeks until the Ayrshire Fiddle Orchestra's eagerly anticipated tour of China. With major concerts in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou & Shenzhen the tour promises to be a fantastic experience. I will be conducting the orchestra in some larger scale new arrangements together with some previously recorded favourites.
Innovation
After a great reception at Celtic Connections 2009, the reputation of the group continues to grow. The next performance is at the closing night of the Burns and A' That festival in Ayr on 24th May.
Teaching
During term time I am employed as Scots Fiddle Instructor on the BA Scottish Music degree at the RSAMD as well as the BA Applied Music course at the University of Strathclyde. I am also examiner for the RSAMD Traditional Fiddle Exams which were launched in 2007.
