Air Iomall: Charlie Grey & Joseph Peach

Event Phone: 01890 750099

From Scottish duo Charlie Grey and Joseph Peach, and filmmaker Hamish MacLeod, Air Iomall a film and suite of new music, inspired by a voyage aboard the tall ship Wylde Swan to some now uninhabited islands deep in the North Atlantic, some of Scotland’s most remote, and remarkable places. The film is centered around the first performance of this new music on St Kilda- the most remote part of the UK, on the 88th anniversary of the evacuation of its native population.
​The project is supported by Help Musicians UK and Creative Scotland

Charlie Grey and Joseph Peach make music on the piano and fiddle. They are Scottish folk musicians, interested in making music filled with spontaneity, sensitivity and freedom.

Inspiration comes from their pasts and surroundings, feeding music that’s rooted in tradition, whilst stretching its possibilities through improvisation and imagination.

Following the release of their debut album Waves Rise from Quiet Water, the duo reached the finals of the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award, and FATEA Magazine’s Instrumental Album of the Year Award.

Notable performances include a live BBC Radio 2 broadcast from the Royal Albert Hall, Live BBC Radio Scotland Travelling Folk broadcast, Cambridge Folk Festival, Celtic Connections, and Festival Interceltique de Lorient, as well as a host of venues, festivals and folk clubs across Europe. In 2018 they provided music for Findhorn Bay Festival’s original production “The Buke of the Howlat”.
