With a line-up that includes BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award winner 2005 (Lauren), the BBC Fame Academy Bursary winner 2007 (Fiona) and the BBC Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year finalist 2008 (Ailie), its no wonder that The Outside Track are one of the most talked about new bands on the circuit.

The Outside Track were originally formed in 2005 at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance in Limerick, Ireland. They have developed into one of the most exciting new bands on the traditional music scene. With a truly diverse line which now includes Lauren MacColl they combine music from their different cultures to form a distinct and dynamic musical sound. Flute, harp, fiddle, guitar, accordion and vocals in expressive energetic arrangements that deliver traditional music with a modern twist.

Their song repertoire encompasses both classic ballads and contemporary songwriting combining the tradition with fresh new material. Five part harmony singing sits alongside sparkling new instrumental sets.
