Amy & Jack Westwell
Amy Westwell (17) and Jack Westwell (14) perform at the 2010 Orkney Folk Festival as reigning champions of the Open Stage.
They first learned traditional fiddle from Jean Leonard, through the Orkney Traditional Music Project. They then went on to play classical, jazz and folk on clarsach, fiddle and piano, yet Orkney continues to influence their music.
In addition to their collective efforts, Amy won a gold medal at this year's Mod, whilst Jack was the Junior Fiddle Champion at the Musselburgh Festival. Together they won the Orkney Folk Festival Open Stage in 2009, and subsequently performed at Celtic Connections’ Open Stage.
The future looks bright for these talented youngsters; Amy hopes to go to music college in the coming years, and Jack hopes to run a steam train with a live band on board.
