Mod Gold Medallist Mairi Sine Campbell has a deserved reputation for traditional unaccompanied Gaelic singing.

On this recording she has worked with some of Scotland’s finest young musicians to create fresh, new settings for glorious songs.

This is Màiri Sìne's long-awaited debut CD and its will delight her many admirers. She is one of the nation's foremost singers and tradition bearers.

"Màiri Sìne Campbell is someone who lives life to the full and makes her music likewise. Her love of Gaelic songs, especially from Lochalsh and Kintail, is infectious and her singing is all about sharing the song, whether it be on stage with an audience, in the classroom with her students or in ‘uairean beag na maidne’ at a cèilidh. Each song on this album has a history, a story, a connection, a real life of its own for Màiri Sìne, and her performances are the more compelling for it. A Mod Gold Medallist with a deserved reputation for traditional unaccompanied Gaelic singing, her alter ego as a member of the Big Field Blues Band in Plockton secretly enjoyed the making of this album, working with some of Scotland’s finest young musicians to create fresh, new settings for some glorious songs. Tha mi an dòchas gun còrd an clàr ruibh." (Mary Ann Kennedy, producer)
