DAVE MILLIGAN is a highly versatile musician and a leading figure in the diverse Scottish music scene. His musical imagination flows freely between multiple genres; most notably in the worlds of jazz and celtic music. In a professional career spanning thirty years, he has travelled all over the world as a performer, composer, arranger, musical director and educator.
In 2003, along with Corrina Hewat, Dave co-founded and directed The Unusual Suspects, a 22- piece big-band of leading folk and jazz musicians that set the benchmark for the wave of large- scale ensembles that followed in the contemporary folk scene. The Scotsman named their debut performance in a list of the top 20 gigs of all time.
Dave has also performed alongside artists such as Larry Carlton, Mark Knopfler, The McCrary Sisters, and Camille O’Sullivan to name a very few!
‘A pianist of quite astonishing verve and subtlety... a whirlwind tour de force.’ The Independent
