Craig Herbertson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland to a family
whose musical traditions stretch back across the generations.
Principally known as a singer of Scots and Irish songs, Craig
is also an accomplished guitarist with a repertoire of music
stretching from Jazz to folk.
Son of a Jazz trumpeter Craig was introduced early to Swing
music. His uncle played in a Skiffle band, his grandparents
had performed in theatre and vaudeville on one side and on the
other were self taught musicians and folk singers.
In the early days Craig played in experimental bands including
the Scottish New Wave band 'The Androids' reviewed in NME with
air play on BBC Radio 1 and the Manchester based funk/reggae
band 'I Giggle when I'm Tickled'.
Later he rediscovered his folk roots playing with a variety of
bands including 'The Keltix' whose songs were featured on BBC
radio and television, 'Scotland the Band!' and 'Mc Alpine's
Fusiliers'.
Craig picked up experience busking in Europe and America, from
the Paris Metro to Riverboats on the Mississippi, during which
time he learned fiddle, mandolin, banjo, penny whistle and
piano.
In 1999 he was invited to sing with the dance spectacular
'Celtic Life' where he recorded his first solo CD 'The Lullaby
of Scotland' featuring some traditional favorites and his own
original material.
Happy playing in a traditional folk session, on the street or
to an audience of thousands, Craig Herbertson now performs
solo, as a duo with 'Folksake', with the duo 'Quest & Craig',
with 'Fiddle & Feet', or with the Scottish traditional band
'Scapa Flow'.
