We are very excited to welcome this vibrant and energetic Scottish folk band to perform their debut gig in out intimate basement venue
Eabhal have made a significant impact on the Scottish music
scene with their vibrant and energetic folk music. The band's
distinctive West Coast sound and dedication to their craft
have earned them a prestigious Folk Band of the Year
nomination in the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 2022
amongst multiple other awards and nominations over the past
10 years.
Eabhal have released two albums to date, the debut This is
How The Ladies Dance in 2018 and the second Aisling, which
was released in 2022 and showcased an array of new
arrangements and both Gaelic and English songs. The band's
focus on kinship and connection to people and land,
elevation, journies and language are all reflected in their
music and identity. Although they all come from different
backgrounds and places, each member was immersed in
traditional music, and their collective passion for their craft is
evident in every song and performance.
Current members are Kaitlin Ross (Vocals), Megan MacDonald
(Accordion), Nicky Kirk (Guitar), Robbie Greig (Fiddle), and
Ewan Duncan (Pipes & Whistle). The band bid farewell to their
former members Jamie MacDonald and Hamish Hepburn in
2021/22, with Hamish emigrating to Canada and Jamie off to
explore new opportunities. However, they are thrilled to
embark on a fresh chapter with Robbie and Ewan.
Eabhal's achievements in their career include the successful
release and tour of their second album, Aisling, which took
them to stunning locations like Glenelg, Ardgour, and
Tobermory. Additionally, the band has been fortunate enough
to showcase their talents at World Music Asia in Shanghai and
perform at various shows in the US in 2018, prior to the
pandemic.
Eabhal are eagerly anticipating what lies ahead as they gear
up for their next chapter. With their third album currently in
progress and a fresh lineup, the band is ready to continue its
journey and elevate traditional music to new heights.
