About

"At the age of 18, Rose Byers has already made a name for herself in the traditional music scene. She is passionate about Scots song, in particular the works of Robert Burns, and has performed and played the fiddle across the country, from the Scottish Parliament to Celtic Connections.

With her beautiful clear voice, she has attracted a growing audience. In 2021, she won a Creative Scotland competition to record her first single which she wrote and was accompanied by Aaron Jones. Among her awards are the British Museum's National Volunteer of the Year for her work as Youth Ambassador of Ellisland, Burns' farm near Auldgirth. She was also named Dumfries & Galloway Life Magazine's Performer of the Year in 2018.

Rose is currently on a four year degree in Traditional Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow."

"If Annandale teenager Rose Byers has a guardian angel, it would surely be Robert Burns himself...Rose has gone from singing about a shepherd calling his sheep at the age of eight to being one of the region's premier young Burnsians." - Fiona Reid, DnG24
