On Wednesday 1 April 2026, Edinburgh FC welcomes Calum Stewart, the award-winning Uilleann Piper, flautist and composer.

Calum’s distinct musical voice – expressed through the wild, shimmering sound of the Irish Uilleann Pipes, and the rich, powerful tones of the Wooden Flute, has been developed through collaborations within the Scottish and Irish traditions. His most recent albums; True North (2023) and Tales from the North (2017) bring together traditional melodies and lyrical compositions, inspired by the landscape and heritage of Calum’s native North of Scotland.

Calum was MG ALBA Scottish Traditional Instrumentalist of the Year 2018 and The PdSK Critcs Award (2023)
FYI ... Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik (PdSK), or German Record Critics' Award, is an independent association of music critics and journalists from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Founded in 1963, it honors outstanding new music and spoken word productions quarterly, annually, and with honorary awards, promoting high artistic quality, independent of commercial interests.

Plus a bunch of impressive albeit brief comments ...
“An astounding Uilleann Piper … Music that runs as pure as a Highland stream.” – ACOUSTIC Magazine.

“Seriously class playing.” – BBC Radio Scotland.

“A musician of outstanding virtuosity… Mountain-air piping clarity.” – Irish Music Magazine.

“Wonderfully accomplished!” – PDSK Critics Award.

“Hits you right between the eyes. Outstanding” – The Living Tradition.

“Calum Stewart joins the ranks of thoroughly modern Uilleann Pipers, who are steeped in their own tradition but cross borders to bring in other influences, and can write a damned fine tune”. – Folk Radio

“A beautifully crafted piece of music in every sense” – BBC Pipeline
