A delight to listen back to Fergus McCreadie - Pianist chatting in studio with Cerys Matthews on BBC 6Music yesterday!

Some great performances from the trio, discussions on the new album, and a cheeky mention of Canvas Dundee and the show at Dundee Jazz Festival 2025 last Saturday afternoon in their too.

Well worth listening back if you can: interview starts 2 hours in (though as always the rest of the show is excellent too, always worth listening too)

Cerys Matthews with Carlos Alomar on Bowie and Fergus McCreadie on Scottish jazz.
