Ryan Young is a Scottish fiddle player working within the traditional music of Scotland. His playing is noted for its distinctive tone and phrasing, with an approach that places melody and expression at the centre of the music.

He first came to wider attention with his debut album, produced by four-time Grammy winner Jesse Lewis (Béla Fleck, Yo-Yo Ma), establishing the foundations of a career that has since developed an international reach. He has toured extensively across the UK, Europe, North America and Australia, and is recognised for a style that draws on both Scottish and Irish traditions.

Ryan is a multi-award-winning artist and has received multiple nominations at the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards, including back-to-back nominations in recent years and most recently for Musician of the Year in 2025. He has also been a finalist in both the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards and the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year.

His recordings have received consistent critical attention, with The Scotsman awarding five-star reviews across his work. In live performance, he has been described as “a force of nature.”

Ryan's third studio album, In the Quiet After, was released in May 2026. Produced by and featuring internationally acclaimed Irish fiddler Martin Hayes, the album also includes contributions from guitarists Stuart McCallum and Louis Campbell.

For this performance, Ryan will be joined by Stuart McCallum (The Breath, The Cinematic Orchestra), bringing music from the new album to the stage alongside Ryan's distinctive interpretations of traditional tunes.
