Welcome

Arthur Coates is a fiddle player from rural Aberdeenshire whose music has taken him from village halls and festival tents to concert stages across Europe, North America and Asia.

​

Raised on a farm and inspired by the traditions of Scotland, Shetland and Québec, Arthur's work combines performance, recording, teaching and collaboration. Whether touring with Arthur Coates & Kerran Cotterell, producing in his Aberdeenshire studio or working with musicians through workshops and community projects, his focus remains the same: making music that connects with people.
