Susi Briggs was born in Dumfries in 1978 just 13 minutes after her twin brother Stewart. She grew up surrounded by a family who were natural storytellers. They inspired the melody and the love of story that she carries and shares today. Susi has long been an advocate for Scots language literacy and has dedicated most of her career to encouraging children to enjoy reading, writing and performing in Scots.
Adam Blake is a guitarist and singer-songwriter who moved to Scotland in 2019 – escaping London after 57 years. He played with Errol Linton’s band for 26 years, played sitar and guitar for Cornershop in the noughties, played bass for Natacha Atlas in the 90s and ran his own band The Hipshakers before that. Another blues devotee, Adam is also a regular busker in Dumfries and Castle Douglas.
Susi and Adam regularly collaborate together musically in a number of forms: and in particular blues and folk, informed by their passion for storytelling and people having a good time.
