New Noise Showcase – Evie Waddell
Evie Waddell is a Gaelic and Scots singer, and fiddler hailing from Stirlingshire. During her younger years, Evie actively participated in the intergenerational community group Riverside Music Project, as well as music development programs at Tolbooth. While her passion for Scottish Music is deeply rooted in the influence of Jo Miller, Evie also draws inspiration from Ivor Cutler, Martyn Bennet, Lisa O Neill, and Rhiannon Giddens.
Evie Waddell’s unique musical journey is informed by her diverse range of interests, skills, and experiences. As a passionate advocate for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community, Evie integrates various forms of artistic expression into her performances, incorporating British Sign Language and contemporary dance. Her collaborations with esteemed organisations such as Solar Bear, Theatre Gu Leor, Fèisean nan Gàidheal, and Magnetic North have allowed her to explore the rich intersections of Gaelic culture and communication, amplifying the voices of the d/Deaf community.
