About

Let flute and guitar duo Halfway to Barra create the perfect mood for your wedding or special event, with a mix of mellow vibes, sophisticated sounds and folky favourites. From Cole Porter to traditional tunes and your own special song - tell these talented musicians what you like, and they’ll match their style to yours.

Maybe you'd like to walk down the aisle to a classical favourite, or schmooze over drinks to the elegant sounds of Gershwin and Porter. Maybe Hum along to Hallelujah, or get the heart pumping with a traditional jig.

Halfway to Barra's music is sophisticated, elegant, breezy, toe-tapping.... not just jazz, not fully folk. The range of tunes ensures a perfect musical fit for any wedding, corporate function or other special event.

Where are they based?

The duo is based in both Edinburgh and Crieff, and perform in both the Central belt and Perthshire as standard. However, they are willing to travel to all areas of Scotland, subject to expenses.
