Catriona is a member of the leading Shetland band Fiddlers' Bid and the Chris Stout Quintet. She has a harp and fiddle duo with Chris Stout and plays World/Jazz music with Phil Alexander (piano/box). Catriona continues to be at the cutting edge of harp music in a clarsach and live electronics combo playing experimental music and improvisation with leading electroacoustic composer Alistair MacDonald.
