Two Men In Skirts
The musical duo of Jim and Gaitley Stevenson-Mathews present programs of traditional and contemporary Scottish songs at weddings, festivals, dances and other social events. As the name of the duo implies, TWO MEN IN SKIRTS don't take themselves too seriously.  Their spirited presentations include traditional ballads, art songs, and popular "music hall" favorites. These presentations are sometimes presented in conjunction with dance demonstrations or at Scottish dances or can be performed as stand-alone concerts. 

Scottish and Ceilidh Musicians
Jenny Evans Winship and Mary Morrisson Abdill have played for the first hour of teaching at the New York Branch of the RSCDS, as well as for other dance classes in the New York City area.  We play dance and performance music for a number of different bands, including The Mary Morrisson Scottish Trio, Madra Confach, The English Dragonflies, and the LITMA Ensemble and Orchestra. Our traditional music ranges from the driving reels, jigs, strathspeys, and lively waltzes for ceilidh and country dances, to the airs and marches, songs and early music for listening enjoyment. We specialize in playing Scottish, American, Irish, and English dance music. F
