Upsurge - TASTER

Ally Forsyth is a traditional musician based in Glasgow. Having graduated with a BA (Hons) in Scottish Music from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, he is now working with some of the most talented and in-demand musicians in the country. 

Brought up in Westhill, near Aberdeen, Ally played piano from a young age. He learned traditional music through Sharon Hassan and The Gordon Gaitherin and played for two years with the Fèis Spè Cairngorms Ceilidh Trail. For his final year of high school Ally attended the National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music in Plockton, taught by Andy Thorburn (piano) and Jack Evans (guitar). It was here that he became part of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nominated band, Thalla. 

Since moving to Glasgow, Ally has studied under the tuition of Mary McCarthy and James Ross, playing at some of the UK's most prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall and the Steinway Hall, London. He fronts the Ally Forsyth Trio with Innes White and Hamish Ritchie, is a regular piano tutor at Riverside Music Complex and has taught both piano and guitar at Gaitherin and Fèisean across the country. Ally has appeared on television and radio across BBC Alba, BBC Radio 2, Classic FM and Celtic Music Radio.
