| Alec Dalglish
Alec is currently studying for a BA in
applied music at the University of Strathclyde. Until around two
years ago, Alec was a stranger to the world of traditional Scottish
music and generally played in more contemporary styles such as rock,
blues and jazz. The influence of these various styles gives his
guitar playing a more contemporary feel.
