Blas Festival presents Guthan nan Gaidheal/Gaelic Voices with Mary Ann Kennedy and Na Seòid and The MacCollective (Lauren MacColl)

Singer, musician, broadcaster, Mary Ann Kennedy has been surrounded by music all her life. She was brought up in a Gaelic-speaking family in Glasgow – her father from the Isle of Tiree and mother, Kenna Campbell, one of the Campbell family of Greepe in the Isle of Skye, a family well-known as singers and pipers.
With Na Seòid we see the singing and playing talents of some of Gaeldom's finest young singers - all marshalled and pointed in the right direction by Mary Ann.
Mary Ann Kennedy and Na Seòid features: Mary Ann Kennedy, Angus MacPhail, Calum ALec MacMillan, Gillebride MacMillan, Grioghar Labhruidh, James Graham, Norrie MacArthur, Tormod MacArthur.

The MacCollective, fronted by fiddler, Lauren MacColl with Barry Reid and Mhairi Hall, take you on a musical journey from rousing Highland strathspeys and reels to emotive Gaelic airs and from old and new tunes specifically from the Highlands. Their debut record was voted one of Celtic Connections ‘Classic Albums’ in 2008.

Earlybird tickets available at £10 to the end of July.
