He was BBC Radio Scotland’s Young Traditional Musician of the Year for 2020 with both whistle and pipes featuring in his performance and has gone on to perform across the globe as part of Project SMOK and Glin. He is launching his brand new solo album, put together with the help of some of Scotland’s best tradition musicians today. He is delighted to be launching his own solo project and album the Ali Levack Big Band. 
Falasgair is a Scottish traditional folk band that emerged from Glasgow and the Isle of Skye. They gained recognition for their blend of traditional, contemporary, and self-penned tunes. 

The band's name is derived from the Gaelic word for burning heather, a seasonal practice. Their sound is characterized by fiddle, whistle, bagpipes, keyboard, guitar, bouzouki, and bodhrán.
