Linsey Aitken and Ken Campbell ~ Music of Scotland
Professional acoustic musicians from Scotland, with a second home in Italy,
touring internationally throughout Europe, Russia, USA and beyond ,
this will be their second visit to Willits Community Theatre, as part of their fourth US tour.
In 2016 they sold out our own concert at Celtic Connections Festival in Scotland,
and are now returning to the USA playing 11 concerts. Amongst many great evenings on these USA tours, they played the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, along with their guests the San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers,
and also a concert in San Francisco Bay on board the Scottish built Balclutha square rigger,
for whom they wrote a song The Bonny Ship Balclutha which will be on their new CD.
Their Unique Songbook and Music combines an unusual blend of instruments and pedigrees
plus vocal harmony self penned and traditional songs and tunes,
encompassing a host of subjects, contemporary and historic, all with Scot's related themes,
all about people with wonderful stories to tell...
Linsey and Ken's story weaves together their many creative musical threads and influences from
Celtic traditional roots, classical, baroque, orchestral and contemporary Scots music,
where historically all genres were interlinked to form Scotland's musical identity...
Linsey - a highly regarded 'cellist, singer, pianist, and composer crosses the genres of classical to traditional, using her 'cello very much up front unusually as a lead instrument with a deeply lyrical and sensual tone. Her distinct, warm vocals bring a round balance that compliments Ken's own distinctive voice.
She studied at the RSAMD, has performed professionally all over the UK from The Royal Albert Hall to
Calgary Bay, Mull and overseas, and established 'The Loch Lomond Ukulele Orchestra' in 2014. Ken - a Scottish singer/songwriter and instrumentalist with five albums to date and a well established pedigree over 30 years. Starting with Glasgow band 'Molendiner', then a much commended duo with Chris Miller [Piper's Maggot - Topic Records, London] he then established the highly successful Ideal Band. He subsequently toured as a solo artist, and with Cauld Wind Piper Hamish Moore, cellist, singer, Wendy Weatherby, and Blair Cowan [Lloyd Cole & the Commotions] before re-forming the Ideal Band.
Linsey Aitken joined The Ideal Band, and subsequently in 2010 she and Ken commenced touring as a duo
with a CD Kith & Kin released in 2014, and another 'Heart & Hand' to be released spring 2018.
