Ian “Ziggy” Tredinnick

From a very early age Bluegrass has been Ziggy’s music of choice, he was involved in the early Sydney bluegrass scene in the 70s and 80s and in recent years partnered with John Holmberg in the Elderly Brothers. He is known for his high tenor singing and fine guitar playing. He has joined with Fred Graham and Benja King, two gifted musicians in their world of Celtic and Jazz music. The trio has always been keen to jam and share music genres at festivals, workshops and gigs, and have put together a rich evocative repertoire of songs and tunes reflecting these origins.
