You have been marked on my profile map! Bellevue Rendezvous was formed in 2006, as a result of a mutual love of beautiful, quirky and varied tunes from all over the world. They are an acoustic trio featuring an unusual combination of instruments - including the nyckelharpa which is very rarely seen in the UK. Described as vibrant, dynamic, exciting, original, sensitive and lyrical, the line up is Gavin Marwick (fiddle), Ruth Morris, (nyckelharpa) and Cameron Robson (bouzouki). In their current repertoire they have many original tunes, as well as music from Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, Serbia, France, Brittany, Macedonia, Poland, Canada, Finland and Sweden. Individually they play or have played with, amongst others, Cantrip, Iron Horse, Unusual Suspects, Deaf Shepherd, Zabalka, Rory McLeod and Jonny Hardie. They released their first album, called ‘Tangents’, in May 2007, appearing at Celtic Connections, on Radio Scotland's Global Gathering, and in various venues all over the country. 2008 sees them playing at folk festivals from Orkney to Wales. Tangents is available from Proper Distribution in any good record store, and from tradmusic.com, watch this space for more info... to contact us please email bellevue_rendezvous@yahoo.co.uk............................. .................................... HERE ARE A FEW SNIPPETS FROM THE REVIEWS:......"Edinburgh-based Bellevue Rendezvous might be a newish name on the folk scene, but the individual members' sheer musicality and years of experience on the traditional scene make for a recording of real beauty" -SONGLINES ****...... ..."I can't recommend this album highly enough" -WORLD MUSIC WORLD......."The musicianship of this group is stunning" -HOTPRESS MAGAZINE.......

Bands he plays/ has played/ recorded with include Iron Horse, Cantrip, Burach, a successful fiddle duo with Jonny Hardie, Ceilidh Minogue, The Roundhouse Ceilidh Band (formerly The Marwicks, formerly The Amazing Spootiskerry Ceilidh Band), and most recently, Bellevue Rendezvous.

As well as recording some of these tunes with his own projects, some of them have been recorded by other musicians like Marie Fielding, Old Blind Dogs, Dochas, Liz Docherty and Give Way. He has written for TV, radio and theatre, mostly the Traverse in Edinburgh where his work includes the music for Outlying Islands, Heritage and Faith Healer. He has also worked with NTS in Gobbo and the Watchmaker, and with Licketyspit in their production of Molly Whuppie. With Bob Turner he has been writing and recording the soundtracks for Art Ecosses’s ‘Around Scotland’ series of DVD’s. He is very active in the ceilidh scene and also teaching and educational work (Falkirk Fiddle Workshop, Feis Rois, ALP, Newcastle University). In his spare time he likes playing the fiddle and composing. .RUTH MORRIS is a multi-talented musician, teacher and collector of tunes. She plays nyckelharpa, fiddle, whistle and piano. As well as Bellevue Rendezvous she also plays in Zabalka with Pete Garnett and Guy Nicolson from Moishe’s Bagel, and has worked with Rory McLeod, Red Dog Green Dog and Cantrip. She dance calls, works with a number of ceilidh bands and has arranged music for film and theatre. Her music has taken her all over Europe, and in her travels she has added to her Scottish/ Irish repertoire a great collection of tunes and dances, particularly from Central France, Brittany, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. She works hard within the community, organising and promoting events, taking workshops in fiddle and whistle, and running and arranging the music for primary and secondary school bands. She works independently and also through organisations such as Feis Rois and the YMI. She is an enthusiastic inspiration to a new generation of musicians. .CAMERON ROBSON is from Denholm in the Borders and comes from a very artistic as well as musical family. His father is the renowned Borders fiddler Wattie Robson. He began playing music at the age of five on the piano and gradually worked himself up through the harmonica, tin whistle and trumpet before coming upon the guitar and then the bouzouki, and also the banjo. Cameron has toured quite successfully as a guitarist in several rock bands and much of his style and drive were learned from playing around in R&B, and Jazz sessions. He has also recently played with Scottish power-folk group Deaf Shepherd and is a member of Cantrip as well as Bellevue Rendezvous. Other projects include a duo with piper Dan Houghton and a band with Dan, Ewan Macpherson and Dave Boyd You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
