Written by celtic music radio on July 20, 2024
Personal stories and cultural concerns are what MAIRI CAMPBELL uses compellingly as inspirations for her evocatively distinctive songs.
A pioneering Scottish musician and an interpreter of Scots song, this album – co-written with musician and producer Dave Gray – is a taster for her Edinburgh Festival Fringe Living Stone show premiere next month, which is the final instalment of her Pendulum Trilogy.
