Emerging Artists - Siannie Moodie & Magnus Turpie

Magnus Turpie is currently part of LMNS Pathways Programme which provides disabled musicians with individual, personalised support. Magnus plays the accordion on a diatonic 3-row b/c/c# 'button' accordion and currently performs with Siannie Moodie.

Magnus has been performing since 2017, including ‘Loud and Clear’ at the Scottish Parliament, ‘Lau-land Big Tune Machine’ (EIF), Fèis Rois Ceilidh Trail and in January 2024, Magnus's band 'Magnus Turpie Combo' appeared in the final of Celtic Connections 'Battle of the Folk Bands'. In 2023, Magnus piloted ‘Pathways’ programmes for both Live Music Now Scotland and Fèis Rois 'Ceilidh Trail'. He is delighted to continue to work with both of these organisations this year to build their reputations as 'Inclusive' agencies and address the under-representation of people with additional support needs in their programmes.

Siannie Moodie plays the clàrsach or Scottish harp, a wonderfully versatile and soothing instrument which suits Siannie’s inclusive music tastes. She delights in sharing her passion for Gaelic, folk, historical and traditional music from Scotland and other Celtic nations, as well as sing-a-longs and classical music too. Highlights of her career thus far include performing solo at prestigious music festivals and venues, from Usher Hall to Belladrum Festival, and creating musical projects that benefit local communities. She also tours with her music to many other countries, showcasing Scottish music abroad and collaborating with local inspiring musicians.
