Catriona’s work spans a range of areas with a central focus on inclusive and sustainable creative opportunities. Playing piano and accordion, Catriona’s own work reflects her diverse interests with inspiration from nature and place, as well as disco and feminism in her work with band HEISK.

Catriona is passionate about community-based participatory music making, and has led a number of projects working with young people and adults with additional support needs to provide access to creativity in music. 

She earned a First Class Masters in Music from her research on equalities in traditional music at Newcastle University, and developed and worked with the BIT Collective, the equalities organisation for traditional music in Scotland.
