Fergus McCreadie

Fergus McCreadie is one of the most exciting young jazz pianists on the world stage. With his unique blend of Jazz and Scottish folk music inspired by his country’s sublime landscapes, Fergus captures the hearts and minds of audiences worldwide. He is undoubtedly a future star in the making. Released on Edition Records to instant critical acclaim, Forest Floor topped the UK Jazz & Blues charts, prompting sold-out performances at Queen's Hall, Edinburgh and Love Supreme Festival. Fergus is the only non-classical musician to be selected as a 2022 BBC New Generation Artist. His latest album, Forest Floor, in its artwork and aesthetic, develops the themes of Fergus's repertoire. Whilst his second album 'Cairn', released on Edition Records in January 2021, focussed on the permanence and beauty of Scottish stone, Fergus felt that this album had a greater earthiness to it, illustrated by the changes the seasons produce on the forest floor, a perception that fed into the concept for the new work. The connection to Fergus' locality, the nature and landscapes of Scotland, provides his music with huge appeal that goes beyond jazz and music.
