We are thrilled to welcome this duo, some of you
may know Michael Haywood who was born and raised in Lockerbie. Both musicians grew up in Southern Scotland, and a common interest in traditional music brought them together.
Performing their unique take on world music, Paul Chamberlain (accordion) and Michael Haywood (saxophone, violin, whistle and clarinet) perform a thrilling, virtuosic musical journey with music from around the world.
Sit back and enjoy Balkan Dance Rhythms, Wild Gypsy Melodies, French Jazz, Classical Masterpieces and more. With innovative musical ideas and great rapport with the audience, the duo explore the potential of their instruments in a way that is exciting and engaging, taking the strength of
each instrument’s traditions to blend their own unique brand of fusion music.t

A superb performance by the Clyde Duo! Thoroughly enjoyed their imaginative repertoire, and it was great to see how well-attended the event was. Looking forward to next month's musicians.
A wonderful afternoon for our first concert back, with a wide repertoire of songs.
