Mischa Macpherson and Friends

The afternoon’s programme brings together the acclaimed talents of Charlie Stewart (fiddle), Innes White (guitar), and Alistair Iain Paterson (piano & harmonium) accompanying award‐winning Gaelic singer Mischa Macpherson. Together, they share newly arranged traditional songs and original compositions, much of the repertoire drawn from Mischa’s home islands of the Outer Hebrides.

From rhythmic waulking songs to lively puirt‐à‐beul, and pieces dating back as far as the 16th century, the set captures the depth and variety of the Gaelic song tradition in an intimate meeting of heart, artistry, and deep cultural understanding by four of Scotland’s most captivating folk musicians.

“Her voice is soft as rain, swooping as a seabird, rooted in the traditions of the Hebrides. When she stops, the audience rise to their feet in a breaking wave of fierce applause.” The Independent
