Dàna
Dàna are a new and exciting all-female band in their final year studying Traditional Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
The band consists of Alex Wotherspoon on piano, Laura Penman on harp, Anna Robertson on fiddle, Eleanor Tout on whistle and Emma Hill on bagpipes. With being a part of the traditional music scene in Glasgow, the girls are driven and are looking forward to allowing more people to listen to their traditional and folk arrangements in the up-and-coming months. Dàna have a busy summer of gigs across Scotland ahead of them, therefore they are sure not to be missed at Mull of Kintyre Music Festival this August
