On Wed Sept 24th at Archerfield Walled Garden! BBC Radio Scotland’s Young Traditional Musician of the Year, Robyn Stapleton graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with a First Class Honours degree in Scottish Music. There she specialised in Scots Song under the guidance of Rod Paterson and Gordeanna McCulloch. During her degree, Robyn spent one year at the Irish World Academy, Limerick, where she met guitarist and banjo player Hajime Takahashi and multi-instrumentalist Stephen Heffernan. With their shared passion for traditional music and a desire to communicate the depth and beauty of traditional songs, the Robyn Stapleton Trio was formed Since meeting in 2011, Robyn, Hajime & Stephen have been performing together across the UK at events such as the Commonwealth Concert at Glasgows Pacific Quay, on BBC Albas Na Trads and has appeared on national TV and radio and at at several Folk Festivals. Robyn will be singing with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra at Proms in The Park in September. This is her first performance in East Lothian and we look forward to welcoming her Trio!
