“Her voice is like the ev'ning thrush,
That sings on Cessnock banks unseen,
While his mate sits nestling in the bush;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.”
“I hope she will not then desert me, I may even then, learn to be, if not happy, at least easy, and south a sang to sooth my misy”
Robbie Burns

Having been brought up on the Summer Isles, on the North West of Scotland from the age of six Pandy spent six years successfully singing Gaelic Solos at the Provincial Mods and the National Mod. She was known then as Angela Ducker!
Since leaving the Island Pandy has lived and worked in Glencoe, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen and has been influenced by the Scottish Songs that each area brings.
She now has an eclectic repertoire, singing songs by Scottish composers, past and present, from all over Scotland, including songs by Robert Burns of Ayrshire to Winnie Foster of Aberdeenshire.
Her lively personality but also her capacity to convey gentleness and melancholy through her voice gives her performance great appeal to a wider audience, drawing them in with every breath.

Reviews:
" I am a sentimental sawney*. Last week in the salon of Duff House, when Pandy Arthur sang “Ae Fond Kiss” the hairs on the back of my head stood on end, and I felt like a young poet in all the pangs of blighted love.
One doesn’t go expecting to be thrilled to the core of one’s being. Staid old gentlemen find a rational pleasure in classical music and in traditional well-trained singers and well-played instruments. Very loud music and fiercely insistent rhythms are more popular today, and seem to offer a much more immediate emotional kick. But the artistry that took years to perfect sometimes lifts you from quiet enjoyment to rapture, and these moments stay with us."
Dr Alistair Mason , Chairman of The friends of Duff House February 2008
“I too was much taken with that item but the whole evening was quite exceptional.”
