Quinie, aka Josie Vallely, is based in Glasgow. She sings primarily in Scots, with a style inspired by the traditions of Scottish Traveller singers, and in particular Lizzie Higgins (1929-1993).

Inspired by Higgins, Quinie’s experiments with composition and vocal techniques create a dialogue between pipe music and voice.

Her work has a strong sense of place rooted in an imagined Scotland and explores contemporary and  ancestral relationships with land and language.
