Fraser Cooper
Our youngest member of the group, Fraser is an honours graduate from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, graduating from the Bachelor of Education course in 2021 with an endorsement in performance. Now working as a Music Teacher in South Lanarkshire, he balances working life with a busy gigging schedule, regularly playing in venues all over Scotland with bands such as Glasweband, the Soundrels and New Town. Fraser is also an in-demand dep for many function bands and is extremely excited about his involvement with ‘Across the Universe.’
‘I am looking forward to starting performing with the group. Despite the Beatles being my favourite band, I don’t believe I truly appreciated the musical complexity of their songs and recordings until this project began. Recreating their recordings as accurately as possible has been an extensive task due to the underlying detail in each separate aspect of every track, and this is something which takes several listens to fully appreciate, but being part of this group has been a really special experience. Playing some of the most iconic piano parts in Music history such as the piano intro in Lady Madonna has been a real pleasure, and I cannot wait to perform these tracks live.’
