Sophy started the violin at the age of five learning primarily classical music, but with both parents playing in the folk style she had a wealth of tunes and support behind her when she turned towards traditional music as a career.

She first became known as part of ‘The Pack’, and later the instrumental band 422. She has played with artists such as Alistair Anderson, Pete Cooper, David Oliver and fills in with various ceilidh bands around the North East.

Sophy teaches both Fiddle and Band arrangement workshops, one of her regular bands ‘Gigue Fish’ was chosen to perform in the 98 Youth Prom in London. She has taught at various Folkworks Summerschools running ceilidh and concert bands as well as playing for dance workshops.

Latest projects include as outdoor performance of a play told in music and song called ‘The Last Wilderness’ (10th-12th Sept Harehope Quarry, Frosterly) She is also working on a new band made up of four fiddles playing primarily Northumbrian music with Stewart Hardy, David Jones and Hinny Pawsey.
