While the third act is Rachel Sermanni, a Scottish folk-noir balladeer from Carrbridge in Strathspey.

In 2011, Rachel Sermanni released her first EP, The Bothy Sessions, recorded quite spontaneously, deep in a Highland forest with 10 friends. Soon to follow came the studio EP, Black Currants. And on September 12, 2012, Rachel’s debut Album, Under Mountains, was set free into the ether. She has since gone on to release more albums and recently brought out a digital EP.

Tae Sup wi a Fifer, created by Fife singer-songwriter James Yorkston, recently announced its biggest run of shows yet.

Organised with support from Creative Scotland, the eclectic live music showcase features three or more varied and complimentary talents from different global avenues of indie, rock, folk, electronic and spoken word performance.
