Magnus Turpie is a musician from Edinburgh and a recent recipient of Create:Inclusion funding.
Magnus has been a regular player at ceilidhs, pub sessions and festivals over the years, has participated in programmes including Youth Music Initiative funded projects and many others, and has now been awarded Create:Inclusion funding to support him in continuing his instrumental, creative and social development through music making - dubbed the Magnus Turpie Musician Development Project.
We wanted to know more about Magnus's experience of music so far, and so, his dad Mike kindly took over as interviewer - watch below!
How did you first become involved with music?
Magnus: When I was wee I would listen to Dad’s pipe Band at piping competitions
What’s your favourite thing you’ve done through music and why?
Magnus: Out of all the projects I have been with, my favourite was playing with my trio at Edinburgh Castle, when I was playing with people of my age.
What are you most excited about for the project?
Magnus: I am looking forward to meeting some people of my age group to play with and making some new tunes.
