Rose Room

Formed in summer 2010, Rose Room comprises virtuoso violinist and vocalist Seonaid Aitken, Jimmy Moon on double-bass with guitarists Tom Watson and Tam Gallagher completing the line-up on solo and rhythm guitars respectively. The music embraces many of the songs of the swing jazz era with a dash of western swing thrown in for good measure.

Tom Watson and Tam Gallagher are probably best known for their work as Swing Guitars, first came to prominence after winning the Danny Kyle open stage at 2001 Celtic Connections, they have since performed at festivals in the UK and Europe and have established themselves as a formidable live act.

Seonaid Aitken is well known as a solo artist in her own right and indeed is a fellow Danny award winner having received the award in 2010. Seonaid also performs with her own Seonaid Aitken Set, playing music rooted in a more traditional folk style but with a modern twist. Rose Room is a new direction for Seonaid having developed a passion for swing jazz listening to Stephane Grappelli.

Jimmy Moon needs no introduction to guitar players. Long term member of The Moonshiners bluegrass band, number one guitar builder in Scotland, his instruments are played throughout the world by the cream of musicians, however it is the double bass that Jimmy turns his hand to in Rose Room.

Nothing more needs to be said other than to prepare to be entertained and charmed by this exciting new band.
