Musical career

Henderson comes from a musical family, with his sisters Megan (of Breabach)[3] and Ingrid and brother Allan (formerly of Blazin' Fiddles)[4] in particular being musicians of renown. He started learning the fiddle at the age of five under the tutelage of Aonghas Grant Snr.[5]

Since 2015, Ewen has also performed regularly with World music pioneers the Afro Celt Sound System.[8]

Henderson is in high demand as a composer and created the soundtrack to the 2016 BBC Alba documentary "The Wee Govan Gadgies/ Pìobairean Beaga Bhaile Ghobhainn".[9] At 2017's Celtic Connections festival, Ewen Henderson was Musical Director of "Strì is Buaidh: Strife and Success",[10] a show covering Gaelic political music over the last 600 years.
