classical music with a folk edge, taking inspiration from Traditional
Scottish melodies. Julia and Emily, both from Scotland, met whilst studying

and duo performances throughout Europe.
As a duo, they perform frequently throughout
Britain and Europe including, the Canary Islands, Spain and France and
