From the home of culture and centre of the modern world, Lochgelly, arrives the new hope for Folk music. Acoustic guitars are no longer just for strumming, cliche so called "singer-songwriters" with nice faces but questionable talent - the fingerpicking hippies are back!

Neil Dougary is one of the best guitar players around Fife.  Once Neil gets his 12 string out he captivates his listeners with amazing fingerwork as he plucks out songs like "Seagull" and 'Simpleman' with effortless ease and then further chills out his audience with cool melody like 'blue noodles' - a must to listen to !

The Way She Moves - for fun !

Fife born Singer/Songwriter George Fisher (known as Fish) has a Scottish/Folk traditional style to his music.  His voice can roar with a gritty texture with songs like 'the big muddy' and 'ye jacobites by name' whilst he can just as easily enchant his audience with his gentle and heartfelt versions of Bruce Springteens 'If I Fall Behind' and Ewan McColls 'Fathers Son'.  Although now living in Spain, Fish has not lost that special Scottish Edge.
