Described by the Sunday Herald as having “emerged as one of today's outstanding talents” and by Jazzwise magazine as “an outstanding product of the Scottish jazz-folk scene who at one moment can blow a low whistle like Charlie Parker steaming his way through ‘Ko-Ko’ and at the next knock out an air on a sax like a Highland traditionalist”, he's consistently been guesting and collaborating as a whistle/sax/bagpipe player with a long list of bands and artists in the Scottish music scene and beyond for 30 years and has released 12 solo albums. Fraser held the post of Traditional Artist in Residence at University of Edinburgh's Celtic & Scottish Studies Department from 2022-26.

The Inchcolm Antiphoner is Scotland’s oldest known musical manuscript, thought to have been composed or compiled around 1340 for performance as part of a religious service most probably held in Inchcolm Abbey, which is on Inchcolm Island in the Firth of Forth, between Edinburgh and Fife.

As Traditional Artist in Residence for the Celtic & Scottish Studies department of the University of Edinburgh, (where the original Inchcolm documents are curated) I’ve arranged the collection of songs and chants for performance by a quartet of saxophones.

Sue McKenzie - alto saxophone Martin Kershaw - tenor saxophone Allon Beauvoisin - baritone saxophone Fraser Fifield - soprano saxophone

Recorded and mixed by Stuart Hamilton at Castlesound Studio, May 2026. Design and photography by Archie MacFarlane.
