James Bauld Music
Flute/Whistle player and composer from Scotland. Based in Glasgow.
What an epic night and privilege performing at the Royal Albert Hall in London!
It was incredible to compose and arrange music for so many people! Having the sound of an orchestra behind you performing your ideas is something extra special.
Massive thanks to Music for Youth for organising this project, giving young composers the opportunity to have their music performed by talented musicians in such a prestigious venue! This is an evening that will always be in my memories.
Huge thanks to Katie and Bridget for support, feedback and ideas throughout the project!
Also big thanks to fellow musicians and performers Apollo House as well as RNCM, NMPAT, BSSO for all their work!
It was a great opportunity to meet and play with other talented musicians from all over the UK. I'm looking forward to what next!
Huge thanks to everyone that has listened to my music in 2023!
Releasing my debut album earlier in the year was very daunting. However, The continued support has been immense. I'm well chuffed with over 8,000 streams in 51 countries!
Absolutely honoured to be performing a new piece I've been working on at Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday the 15th of November! Just over a week to go!
There's many different Musicians involved in this and I'm buzzing to play alongside everyone!
Here's couple of photos and a wee video from the a day in Birmingham going over the ideas Music for Youth

Had a fantastic week in a surprisingly sunny Stornoway for my final UHI residency, some really great workshops!
Also a big thanks to anyone who listened to my 40 minute solo flute and pedals set at the lovely An Lanntair! An great space to play in!
Thanks for the new review from FolkWorld by Alex Monaghan!
"In a contemporary style tasty tunes which casually wave to the West Highland tradition from a Hebridean passing place"
"Where I Belong is a fine debut full of interesting new music, attention-grabbing, with enough quirks and questions to qualify for repeated listening"

Huge thanks to Ian Hall over at Liverpool sound and vision for the album review! Its a glowing one and excellently written!
"James Bauld knows exactly where he belongs, in that is by the side of the listener and massaging the soul with his own creative style, one that is of certain truth and industrious thought"
"An album built around the persuasive sound of the wooden flute might be difficult to imagine, and yet in the same honour bound display of temptation of a direct sound espoused by the likes of Peter Gabriel and Ian Anderson, James Bauld treats the listener to a series of moments that add to the complexity and drama of the aural voyage"
