About Me

Described as “one of the most technically gifted and expressive guitarists in Scotland.” (Innes
White), Miguel’s music is tied in with a deep understanding and curiosity of the
Traditional Scottish music landscape. Originally from the Portuguese Midlands and
now based in Glasgow, Miguel has developed a broad style which swiftly shifts
between accompanist and soloist, embodying edges of classical, jazz, and contemporary
music. With the eagerness to push and dare, the ebb and flow between styles and
techniques Miguel displays make him “A new and genuinely unique voice in contemporary
Scottish trad. You really haven’t heard this before.” Martin Green (Lau). Recently, Miguel
was a finalist at the prestigious BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of
the Year 2025 competition.
He is a founding member of the up-and-coming project the Capstan Quartet welding
old and new melodies of the Scottish tradition with contemporary aesthetics. He also
plays extensively with pianist Amy Laurenson in both duo and with her quartet. He
has also collaborated with North American Fiddle and Cello duo Jocelyn Petit and
Ellen Gira, Edinburgh based Singer songwriter Eve Simpson, and Glasgow based
band Tern.
