The band Blackwaterside was formed in 1995 by flutist Susan Craig Winsberg in celebration of her Scottish heritage. Since then they have released three CDs and have played several concerts and festivals, receiving great public acclaim. They are known for their varied approach to traditional Scottish and Irish music, alternating lively, upbeat tunes with lyrical and haunting ballads, constantly changing the texture and color of the instrumentation so that their sound is forever fresh. Audiences have remarked how they enjoyed the uniqueness and originality of a Blackwaterside Celtic music performance.
The Blackwaterside band features Susan Craig Winsberg on flutes and whistles and the outstanding vocalist Christa Burch (of Tamlyn fame), accompanied by the talented Sean Clegg on guitar and Tim Blair on percussion and recorders.
