“Exquisite, passionate playing” (Scotsman)

“Extraordinary” (The Times)

“One to look out for, a rising star” (Howard Goodall, Classic FM),

Alastair has appeared on many albums from both the Scottish folk scene and the thriving London folk scene, with many writing credits for these. He has performed his own music in some of the UK's most prestigious music venues including The Royal Albert Hall, Westminster Abbey, The Barbican, Shakespeare's Globe - both with bands and as a solo artist - as well as just about every major UK Music Festival.

Now playing mainly with The Langan Band, Alastair has moved back home to the Isle of Lewis after nearly 15 years in London.
