Fiddler and composer Aidan O’Rourke is one of today’s foremost Scottish musicians, renowned both as a founder member of Blazin’ Fiddles and Lau (3 times winners of the Best Live Act at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards), and for his superb solo releases Sirius and An Tobar. He has also featured on more than 80 albums by other artists, most recently guesting on the latest solo album by Idelwild’s Roddy Woomble (for release early 2011). An Tobar, The Tobermory Arts Centre is proud to be commissioning TAT-1 from Aidan to help celebrate the 2012 Olympics. Starting from the loose theme of bringing the world closer together, as the Olympics does, this new piece will be inspired by the first transatlantic telephone cable which ran from Oban (Aidan’s home town) on the west coast of Scotland to Newfoundland. For many years this cable carried the “Hotline” between Washington and Moscow!
