	In the last three years Alastair Caplin has performed with the likes of Abigail Washburn, The Incredible String Band, Dave Swarbrick and Richard Thompson. He has accompanied singer/guitarist Alasdair Roberts on numerous tours and recorded two albums with him; ‘Too Long in this Condition’, released last year by Drag City, and an album of Gaelic song to be released on Drag City next year. The most recent projects Alastair was involved in was recording the solo fiddle music for the film 'Burke &amp; Hare' with Simon Pegg and Bill Bailey, and writing and performing the live score for the Gaelic play Roghainn nan Daoine. Praise for Alastair’s playing includes:
“The Fiddle from Caplin charts the songs' emotional depths with an icy beauty” (Dusted magazine)
“Alastair Caplin’s live fiddle score had the air of an exquisite Polish passion play” (Scotsman)
“The live fiddle playing of Alastair Caplin was superb and evocative, whether signing a change of scene or underpinning the emotional tone of dialogue.” (Hi-Arts Review)
“Caplin shone as fiddler. Never has a musical instrument been made so overtly sexual. Caplin’s masterful technique combined with the wonderfully physical acting of Mairi Morrison, who played his on-stage wife, positively oozed sensuality.” (Stornoway Gazette)
Alastair is currently playing with The John Langan Band, Alasdair Roberts, Brooke Sharkey, Adam Beattie, Garance Louis, and as a solo act amongst other projects.
