Fergus McCreadie (born 12 July 1997 in Jamestown, Easter Ross) is a Scottish jazz pianist and composer based in Glasgow.
"[1] McCreadie says he is most inspired by American jazz pianist Keith Jarrett, and notes his music taste as also including Glenn Gould, Martha Argerich, Oscar Peterson, McCoy Tyner, Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, and Mick O'Brien.
[1] In a concert review from 2024, The Skinny's Zoë White described McCreadie as sitting forward facing his audience and speaking candidly about his music in between songs.
[15] White noted the "endearing contrast between his down-to-earth anecdotes about hill walks, mountain streams and Scottish weather, and the hypnotic beauty of the music itself.
"[15] McCreadie has also won the Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the Year's under-17 category in 2013 and 2014, the Linda Trahan Memorial Prize University of St Andrews, and the Guy Barker Award at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
