Inge
Thomson, from a musical family, started playing traditional music at an
early age. She met James
whilst at high school and cut her ‘gigging’ teeth in ‘Strange
Conspiracy’. Inge attended
college in Aberdeen and in 1992 joined the ‘Native Sons’ which were to
later become ‘Drop The Box’
In
2000 Inge teamed up with four of Scotland’s finest tunes players to form
contemporary/trad band Harem Scarem who tour steadily world-wide, playing
such prestigious festivals as Canada’s
Celtic Colours, Celtic
Connections, Edinburgh Fringe, where, in 2003 they won the much coveted
“Tap Water Award” for best band.
Having
a recording history with numerous groups including Jim Sutherlands “Cold
Weather Dancing”, The Broken Family Band,
Sharon King, Alibi Cafe, in addition to this, her involvement in
projects such as The International Unusual Suspects, and Rick Taylor’s
latest musical movements proves she is also a much sought after session
musician.
