New Zealand born musician Jamie McClennan has many strings to his bow –performer, composer, teacher, producer, agent, graphic designer, chef….coffee fanatic! He has over ten years experience as a touring musician having played in line-ups ranging from surf bands to pipe bands to traditional bands. In 2002 he met Scottish singer Emily Smith. Emily had recently won the 'BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year Award' and was putting a band together. Jamie joined Emily's band initially on fiddle and whistle but through the years has become her lead guitarist and an integral part of Emily's sound. 2009 saw the release of his long awaited first solo recording 'In Transit', a collection of tunes Jamie has written over the years travelling and touring around the world.
