Re: Laura Mcghee

I got in some background information on this artist...

I am a Scottish born fiddler, guitarist, singer-songwriter, now resident in Nashville.
I have had chart success in America with my last album in 2010 "Celticana", a mix of americana/country/rock and celtic, spent over 3 months in the AMA top 30 chart.
I have been working on my celticana crossover of celtic and country in last few years in the USA, writing and performing in Nashville and around the country.
I have been fortunate to perform and share the stage with many artists I have long admired, from Pete Seeger, Odetta, Shane McGowan, Runrig, Jim Lauderdale, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Suzy Bogguss, Jack Clement, John Carter Cash, Nicola Benedetti and David Amram.
I have been based in the USA for 3 years, but was brought up in Angus, Scotland performing Scottish traditional music, and Graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music with a degree in classical fiddle.
I have featured on several great BBC TV productions including award winning series "Scotlands Music", "Auld Lang Syne", and also recent BBC Alba production, "Rabbie & The Nashville Lassies" (featuring the music of Scottish national poet Robert Burns).
I have also been honoured to perform my 911 Tribute to the fallen
"Commemoration" at US Embassy in London, and at the Memorial Gardens In New York.
My charitable work has seen me work with: The Princes Trust, Diabetes UK, September Concerts USA, (whom I am a youth Ambassador), Cancer Charity MacMillan Nurses, Jimmy Johnstone Motor Neurone Charity Trust and the George Best Liver Foundation.
