Fin Moore & Sarah Hoy
Fin Moore and Sarah Hoy started playing as a duo after meeting at Ceòlas Summer School in South Uist. They quickly became in demand for other session work and concert performances further afield, and have since performed together all over the world.
Fin Moore plays the Highland pipes, Border pipes and Scottish Small Pipes and is also a very successful pipemaker. Fin also has a reputation as a teacher of pipes, and runs exciting music retreats through Far North Retreats. He has performed at the Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow, Celtic Colours in Cape Breton, the Edinburgh International Festival and has been a regular at the William Kennedy Piping Festival, Armagh. He has played solo and with bands including, inB, Seudan, Dannsa, Slainte Mhath, and Back of the Moon.
Sarah Hoy was born into a musical family in Edinburgh. She took up the fiddle aged eight, learning from her father Derek Hoy, fiddler with classic Scots band, Jock Tamson’s Bairns, and later with Mairi Campbell, well-known fiddler, singer and step dancer. Sarah enjoys playing with Bella McNab’s Dance Band, her favourite place to be is playing for dancing! Sarah is now a primary teacher in the Gaelic Medium primary school in Edinburgh and enjoys running and teaching fiddle each week through Portobello Fun Fiddle.
Sarah and Fin love the combination of the pipes and fiddle and how the instruments compliment each other. They enjoy playing traditional tunes mostly from Scotland and letting the natural rhythms and melodies of the tunes lead the way!
